Solid start to a new cozy mystery series. It was a bit formulaic, but that's to be expected for a cozy mystery. This series is set in a haunted inn, but I wouldn't say that it's a haunted cozy mystery because the one ghost we meet and the others we hear about are so lovely. Maybe it's a paranormal cozy mystery! Anyway, Maureen was just laid off when she gets a letter that she's inherited an inn in a small town in Florida. She packs up her clothes and her dog Finn and arrives in Haven. On her first night there, she finds a dead body of a ghosthunter in the rocking chair on the porch. The mystery of who committed the murder was obvious, but I didn't figure out the motive for it. The inn has their share of quirky residents, the town's people are characters, and Maureen has no idea why Penelope Gray left her the inn, and that's why the next book is on my TBR pile.
