About this listen

With the arrival of six senior reading group members at the Merry Ghost Inn, the long-awaited grand opening week has finally begun for Melanie West and her grandmother Liza. All is well with the Oregon coast-side B&B until Melanie's dog, Max, finds the dead body of one of their guests.

Everyone at the inn immediately falls under suspicion, including the innkeepers themselves. Melanie and Liza are not sure who they can trust, and the idea of cohabitating with a murderer is enough to send chills down anyone's spine. To make matters worse, the curmudgeonly town detective wants them to steer clear of the investigation, but doesn't seem too inspired to solve the case in a timely fashion himself. To clear their own names and to avoid the blight on the inn's reputation that yet another dead body will bring, Melanie and Liza dive headlong into the murder investigation.

With a little help from their chuckling ghost, Melanie and Liza dodge the detective, tip-toe around their suspicious guests, and still serve up delicious bed-and-breakfast meals on time in Kate Kingsbury's delightful second Merry Ghost Inn mystery, Doom with a View.

fun and light

the narrater does get a little over excited at times but good fun and the very gentle 'deaths' are a minor intrusion.

cosy but fun

Kate Kingsbury is still a new-to-me author. I enjoyed this cosy story and liked the level of threat and danger our protagonists, Melanie and her grandmother Liza, found themselves in.

The mystery was as far from a Dan Brown or Agatha Christie as you could get (didn't tax the little grey cells at all) however, I still enjoyed listening to how our pair of amateur sleuths crashed around in their search for clues.

I also liked the other main supporting characters; Max is a real sweetie, Ben's got book boyfriend potential, I love Cindy's personality (and sense of style) and I can't wait to find out more about Orville's story.

I have listened to other books narrated by Tavia Gilbert (Angie Fox' Southern Ghost Hunter Mysteries) and always enjoy her performances. I'm never confused who's speaking and enjoy the emotions Tavia brings to the scenes.

I already have audiobook 3 - Be Our Ghost - waiting to be listened to. I'm looking forward to seeing what adventures Mel and Liza get drawn into next.

The narrater is very good, as is the story, but the main character can be quite annoying: she wimpers and whines a lot, and I just want to grab her by the shoulders and tell her to "grow a pair". This is the only reason I've only given 14/15 stars, a completely personal choice.

wonderful mystery

For a cosy mystery I wasn't happy to be reading about a woman who can't have children after an accident - not just a mention but how it affects her new relationship. Needed a trigger warning.

And some very odd ideas about the English, especially what we eat. Eg an old woman reminiscing wouldn't name sticky toffee pudding, as that's more recent, so that yet saying we still eat stuff my gran used too don't go together.

Ok

Loved the story line it was easy to listen too. The plot had some twists and turns look forward to listening to the next one. Highly recommend this book for a light good hearted murder.

Cosy Mystery at its best

I find one of the characters annoying, but that maybe the way it’s narrated, they draw of the story but easy listening especially easy to pickup and put down. Great house work stories!!
