Doom with a View

A Merry Ghost Inn Mystery #2

by Kate Kingsbury

Sometimes you just need a light, fun book to take your mind off the news, your schedule and life in general.  Doom with a View hit the spot for me.  The second installment of the Merry Ghost Inn Mysteries.  The story isn’t heavy handed or dark.  Yes, there is a murder but it’s not overly described or gruesome.  The victim happens to be a curmudgeon and not popular with his other traveling companions.  Melissa and her grandmother, Liza, are not happy as this is yet another mishap to hit their B & B and they were hoping their reopening after a fire almost ended their endeavor into the hospitality field would go a little smoother.  Their run-ins with the local constabulary are anything but helpful.  However, they have a week to get to the bottom of the killing and they must stay out of the way of the lackluster detective assigned to the case.  There is mild romance, delicious recipes, and many quirky characters.  This isn’t heavy reading, nor deep thoughtful writing.  It is just a fun, delightful story.

I wish to thank the publisher for generously providing an Advanced Reader’s Copy through NetGalley for my honest review.
