Pippa runs a
bed and breakfast inn, where authors can relax and unwind.
"All my
guests were mystery authors, as per Raymond Moore's will, and though they came
in all shapes, sizes, experience levels, and subgenres, they were all
hopelessly dedicated to their craft."

Pippa had
that cute charm that hits a soft spot for the reader. The author definitely had
a way with words and infused a delightful wit to an endearing character.
The story
had a slow start that only progressed at a superfluously lagging pace
throughout. I thought that the premise of murder combined with the history and
folklore of an enriching ghost tale was interesting, but, unfortunately, the
point of it all took much longer than it should've. For me, a good mystery
should be well endowed with the capacity to keep you on your toes. And, while
this book was indeed well endowed with fruitful details and vibrant settings,
it wasn't the page-turner I was expecting.
My rating: 2.5 stars
