Ghost in the Wind (A Haunted Guesthouse Mystery, #7)

by E. J. Copperman

Murder and mystery on the Jersey Shore from the national bestselling author of Inspector Specter...

Never meet your heroes—especially when they’re dead…

Guesthouse owner, single mother, and reluctant ghost whisperer Alison Kerby is about to sit down to movie night with her family and friends when she’s struck speechless. Floating before her is the ghost of her musical idol, 1960s English rock star Vance McTiernan. He’s in desperate need of help from Alison and her resident ghostly gumshoe, Paul Harrison.

Reports claim that four months ago, Vance’s daughter died from a drug overdose. Vance, however, thinks she was murdered. While Alison agrees to help, Paul is suspicious of Vance’s motives. But after the body of the alleged killer is found in the movie room, Alison and Paul must act quickly before someone else finds a stairway to heaven...

This is one of those books, and series, that is well-written, with pretty good plotting and very well-crafted characters, but just fails to engage me.  I've been reading these books since the beginning and I've never not enjoyed each one, but they've never resonated enough with me that I've been eager to pick up the next one.  I feel bad about this because it is a good series, but if I'm not looking forward to the next release, I need to just let it go.   

It's definitely a case of "it's me, not the book" so if you enjoy light, totally non-spooky ghost stories tied to good mysteries and written with a lot of humor, I'd definitely recommend giving this series a shot, it deserves it.  I'm going to hang on to the books I have, just in case, but I'll probably end with this one.
