Charlene Morris knew Salem,
Massachusetts had a spooky reputation. But when she decided to open her B&B
there, she expected guests--not ghosts...
A grieving young widow, Charlene needed a new start--so she bought a historic mansion, sight unseen, and drove from Chicago to New England to start turning it into a bed-and-breakfast. On her first night in the house, she awakens to find a handsome man with startling blue eyes in her bedroom. Terror turns to utter disbelief when he politely introduces himself as Jack Strathmore--and explains that he used to live here--when he was alive. He firmly believes that someone pushed him down the stairs three years ago, and he won't be able to leave until someone figures out who. If Charlene wants to get her business up and running in time for the Halloween tourist rush, and get this haunting houseguest out of the way, she'll have to investigate. Though truth be told, this ghost is starting to grow on her . . .

Mrs. Morris and the Ghost
grabs you right from the first page and will leave you in shock when you find
out who done it just before the end.
Charlene moved into a home
full of surprises. One surprise is the resident hot ghost of course, and the second surprise, she finds a new cat, which Charlene is not a total cat lover so this
becomes interesting as she tries to solve a murder to get the ghost out and
deal with a cat she doesn’t want.
The only downside to the story
for me was it seemed like every man and ghost was hot after Charlene so by
the middle of the story, it was on my last nerve. Other than that this is a good read that will leave you wanting more.
It does sound good even if you had one small problem with it.
