Summary

Just when she thought she'd seen everything... Detective Lieutenant Anita McElone is one of Harbor Haven's finest. She's also a hard-boiled ghost skeptic. So when she shows up on the doorstep of Alison Kerby's Haunted Guesthouse to ask for supernatural help in solving the murder of her former partner, it's hard to tell which woman is more flabbergasted. But McElone is dead serious, so Alison promises to help in any way she can - even asking her resident ghosts, Paul and Maxie, for help with the case. As Paul's spirit source reveals some troubling information about the deceased detective, Alison wrestles with what to tell McElone. First, though, she has to find her... because the lieutenant has suddenly disappeared.

A truly good read, light humorous and fun.

If you could sum up Inspector Specter in three words, what would they be?

fun, witty, enjoyable

Who was your favorite character and why?

very much the mother, she was just a loveable character.

Which scene did you most enjoy?

again, I find this question so difficult because the story, was so enjoyable and just a pleasure to read.

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

yes in places I certainly laughed, but did not really cry.

Any additional comments?

A great read, try investigating the work also of Chris Fieldwater, he has written some great works, and I understand not everyone would enjoy his work, but in my eyes most enjoyable, much like Km woods as well and John Ringo,

That was brilliant!

This was a great time, I binged this in three days. Amanda Ronconi is fantastic as always. I love her narration. The story was very enjoyable with a very refreshing structure and conclusion. I hope to hear more books like this. I laughed out loud a number of times.

Absolutely love this series so much. I’m so invested in the story, the characters, the whole vibe! I’m enjoying it so much and I have struggled with audiobooks this year but this series has been the most audiobooks I’ve listened to ever!

So, far, my favourite!

I know some reviewers have complained about the side stories with Alison's best friend, Jeannie, her husband, Tony and baby Ollie, but you know what, I quite enjoyed Ollie going "Ga!" and Amanda Ronconi saying it! My only gripe is I hate the term "Baby Girl" used by adult men referring to adult women. Creepy.
I thought this story really brought Allison and Detective Lieutenant Anita McElone's relationship forward somewhat. Deep down, you know Anita *likes* Allison a little bit and just tollerates her. Can't wait to listen to the next in the series!

Just gets better and better

I enjoyed this book. Mainly because the case centres around Detective Anita McElone and I Just love her reaction to both the ghosts and Alison and it was fun to learn more about her home life and even contained a few surprises and twists that I didn't see coming. I think she is my favourite character, no wait that is Maxie or Melissa, oh hang on Ollie had a bigger part in this book. Let Just say I like the characters and they are the reason I keep returning to this series. I just love the ghostly aspect the the stories, the way the ghosts get involved in the investigations and in this case taking down the bad guys. The mystery was busy with two murders to investigate, as well as all the guesthouse guests to spook but as usual it all gelled together nicely and held my attention until the very end. Off to see what the ghost are up to in the next book.
Detective Anita McElone doesn't do ghosts and she just about tolerates Alison 'the ghost lady's and her investigations, so when she turns up at the guest house asking for help, Alison knows it's serious. Her ex partner has been murdered but his work colleagues are writing it off as accident and she needs Alison to do what ever she does with her ghostly connections to find out what happened. The same night her partner died so did the man he was investigating and when McElone disappears things get very complicated. Was he on the take? And can Alison find the killer, track down McElone and babysit her best friends baby all while entertaining her guests. It's going to be tricky especially with the resident ghosts and partners in the detective agency distracted, Maxie acting weird, keeping secrets and rushing off and Paul has discovered electricity which seems far more interesting than keeping Alison safe from the mob.
I still really like the narrator and think she does a good job of giving each character there own voice and style.
