Haunting License: 09/20/24
Haunting License by Carol J. Perry and C S E Cooney (Narrator) (2024) is the third book in the Haunted Haven mystery series. Maureen Doherty finds a murdered fisherman while walking her dog, Finn. She decides to honor the man and boost business at her hotel during the slow June season by restarting a fishing tournament last held in Haven about twenty years earlier. Besides the murder, Maureen is distracted by two of her guests. One is an anthropologist specializing in shell mounds. She's here to study the ones within walking distance of Haven and thankfully protected by being within the bounds of a bird sanctuary. The other is a pair of birders: one who publishes a magazine, the other his much abused photographer. Finally, there's the question of how Maureen was chosen to inherit the hotel. So lots of lingering questions about the history of the place are finally answered. The murder is something that Maureen and the anthropologist solve fairly easily but the problem is finding enough evidence to warrant an arrest. The bulk of the mystery is Maureen and her cohorts doing the homework to gather the necessary evidence. Five stars Comments (0) |
