High Spirits by Carol J. Perry

4.0

Can I just say how much I enjoy books by Carol J. Perry? Nothing graphic or gory, just nice cozy mysteries with interesting characters and well done plots. In this one, Maureen is still trying to make a profit at her Haven House hotel in Florida. There is a touch of light romance with Ted, the chef and something interesting going on with Hubbard, the cop, that may be expanded or go in another direction as the series progresses. There are some fun ghosts and a wonderful dog named Finn. The mystery is good; I was so sure I knew who the killer was and then … nope I was wrong. More secrets are uncovered about the mysterious benefactor that gave Maureen the hotel. The supporting characters are good and I enjoyed the book. It was a quick entertaining read and I’m more than ready for Carol to write many more in the series. 4 stars.
