Normally Darla, the ghost that haunts the Redemption Inn, behaves herself.
Relatively speaking.
Nancy, the owner of the Redemption Inn, swears that Darla is harmless. At

guests, but it's all in good fun.
Until one of the hotel guests is found dead at the bottom of the stairs, and
Darla is the one who's blamed.
With the threat of guests cancelling and her business on the line, Nancy turns
to Charlie to help find the real culprit so Darla can rest in peace.

A haunted hotel and a ghost that kills. Sounded interesting, right? Well, I have to say that this really wasn’t as interesting as I was hoping. The beginning chapters talk a lot about this ghost and the things it has done. We don’t get a dead body until chapter 5, and, of course, they blame the ghost. There was a lot of trivial dialogue that talked about the case, which doesn’t quite follow the cozy mystery pattern. The mystery doesn’t quite keep you riveted and trying to guess who did it. It was tepid really.
The read was pretty decent overall, and it was short and quick, so I’d say it’s worth a shot if you have nothing else to read. But it could be better. In this book, there’s room for more mystery, more excitement, more interest. Just more.

A USA Today Bestselling, award-winning author, Michele
taught herself to read at 3 years old because she wanted to write stories so
badly. It took some time (and some detours) but now she does spend much of her
time writing stories. Mystery stories, to be exact. They're clean and twisty,
and range from psychological thrillers to cozies, with a dash of romance and
supernatural thrown into the mix. If that wasn't enough, she posts lots of fun
things on her blog, including short stories, puzzles, recipes and more, at
MPWNovels.com.
Michele grew up in Wisconsin, (hence why all her books take place there), and
still visits regularly, but she herself escaped the cold and now lives in the
mountains of Prescott, Arizona with her husband and southern squirrel hunter
Cassie.
When she's not writing, she's usually reading, hanging out with her dog, or
watching the Food Network and imagining she's an awesome cook. (Spoiler alert,
she's not. Luckily for the whole family, Mr. PW is in charge of the cooking.)
