About this listen

A haunted inn...a ghostly séance...and a tearoom full of scrumptious delicacies!

Jessie Delacroix leaves the hustle and hassle of a new career as an assistant investigator for a law firm in Savannah to return to her roots in the small tourist town of Whispering Pines. The 25-year-old dynamo is not prepared for the ghosts who await her there in the haunted bed-and-breakfast and tearoom that she inherited and now must operate.

Not only does she find the spirits of those she loved long ago, but a sinister murder occurs just one day after her arrival. Is this a sign of malicious spirits...or foul play of another sort? The police are stumped, so it's up to Jessie and her little beagle, Arthur, to uncover the surprising answer - with a little help from her supernatural granny and a mystical pawnbroker.

Join Jessie, Arthur, Carlo (the short-tempered but lovable chef), Sheriff Muldoon, and a host of other characters as they explore the dark secrets of the haunted inn and the ghostly town of Whispering Pines. You'll find fun, humor, and an intriguing and detailed mystery, with all the clues meticulously laid out but hidden in plain sight. Only the best sleuths, like Jessie Delacroix, can pick them up. Can you solve the murder and predict the final twist?

This is the first book in a new paranormal murder-mystery series. Each book will lay out a well-crafted mystery to test your powers of perception as it slowly answers the bigger question: What is the secret of Whispering Pines? The series not only includes otherworldly spirits and psychic abilities, but it will also bring you visions of mouthwatering finger sandwiches, incredible canapés, and crab cakes that might just change your life!

Don't lose your head over this book

This was a fun listen and a good start to a new series. It was fairly short listen so great for cars rides. I did know who the killer was but with its easy style it keeps you listening until the end to see if you are right. The plot was good and it is obviously setting up a story for later books. The one thing that had me confused was the main character is she a medium or a witch, it never really explained or why she could talk to ghosts. I liked the characters especially the gran who kept taking possession of the dog so she could help solve the case. Look forward to the next book.
Jessie returns home to help save her grans bed & breakfast and tea room. It seems that the ghost of her grandmother is scareing away customers, as well as staff. Apon arrival she discovers that not only has her Gran stuck around but also her mother and they want to help. One of the ways the B&B is drumming up business is by holding a seance for a grieving family who want to contact there dead son. The problem is, the father loses his head, literally, during the middle of the seance and what was meant to help the business could mean the end of it. Jessie with the help from her gran sets out to find the killer so the B&B can reopen. The murder weapon turns out to be trick to pin down and with everybody present it should be an easy case to solve. However with the lights going out, nobody saw anything and Jessie will have her work cut out for her. Can she work out the reason for the murder? And in doing so will that unmask the killer? Or will.there be another body?
I liked the narrator. I have heard a number of books read by her and have always found she puts a lot of energy and emotion into her reading.
