High Spirits by Carol J. Perry

4.0

Thank you to @netgalley for ARC of High Spirits, book 2 in A Haunted Haven Mystery series by Carol J. Perry! I was so excited to read this since I enjoyed book 1, Be My Ghost so much. There’s so much to like in this series–setting, characters, a blossoming romance, a golden retriever, and of course, mystery!

This entry is set at Christmas time and there is something so appealing about a Florida Christmas–at least to this Midwesterner. Maureen is a delightful main character – independent and creative, stretching every dollar to make her inn, Haven House, a success. I love her relationship with the inn’s ghost and her determination to get to the bottom of a cold case and a recent case. I loved the resolution and the epilogue and am looking forward to further entries. I was sorry to leave Maureen and Haven House when I finished.
