If bed-and-breakfast owners Melanie and Liza, along with their laughing ghost tenant, can't find a real estate developer's killer, their own estate will end up with their next of kin.

The Merry Ghost Inn is well and truly open for business. Melanie West, her grandmother, Liza, and their beloved sheepdog and wolfhound mix, Max, are rapidly getting the hang of running their charming bed-and-breakfast inn on the rocky Oregon coast. Not that business goes without a hitch―when your hostelry boasts its own laughing resident ghost, you'd better expect the out-of-the-ordinary. But Melanie and Liza take it all in stride ... until a hotshot real estate developer arrives in Sully's Landing, touting his plans to build a tacky amusement arcade smack dab in the middle of the tasteful cliff-side town.

No one in Sully's Landing can stand the gaudy developer, but it's still a shock when he ends up murdered. It's even more shocking when Liza's friend, Doug, emerges as the chief suspect. Melanie and Liza put on their sleuthing caps yet again and set out to clear Doug's name. They nearly check into accommodations six feet under when, en route to the crime scene, their brakes give out and they narrowly miss plunging over the cliffs to the beach below. Meanwhile, the merry ghost who haunts the inn tries to help by dropping clues for Melanie to find, but her mind is otherwise preoccupied when the killer kidnaps Liza and holds her prisoner.

Now, it's up to Melanie to piece together the ghost's clues, save her mother, exonerate her friend, keep her guests happy, and make sure Max gets his walkies in Kate Kingsbury's third mirthful Merry Ghost Inn mystery, Be Our Ghost.

      Listeners become guests at the Merry Ghost Inn through the narration of Tavia Gilbert. Melanie and her grandmother, Liza Harris, team up to run this B&B, which has its own laughing ghost, voiced convincingly by Gilbert. When a local developer tries to build an arcade in the coastal Oregon town of Sully's Landing, he is murdered, and the members of the development commission become suspects. Liza gets involved when her friend Doug is accused of the murder. Gilbert gives a strong performance of each character, especially Liza, who has a British accent influenced by years of living in America. Gilbert also does a fine job of playing up the romantic tension between Melanie and Officer Ben Carter. V.M.G. © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine

      Entrepreneur Jason Northwood has big plans to build an arcade in the center of Sully’s Landing, Ore., in Kingsbury’s slow-moving third mystery featuring Melanie West and her grandmother, Liza Harris, the owners of the Merry Ghost Inn (after 2017’s Doom with a View). Northwood’s meeting with the city council and the planning commission ends in arguments and threats, and he is stabbed to death later that night. All the meeting’s participants are declared to be suspects, including Doug Griffith, of whom Liza is particularly fond. The ladies have no choice but to investigate, with or without the help of Deputy Ben Carter, Melanie’s boyfriend. Meanwhile, Melanie takes time to research the whereabouts of her mother, who disappeared some 30 years ago, leaving Melanie in Liza’s care. Will the pair solve the mystery before the police? Will Melanie find her long-lost mother? Will Ben kiss Melanie? For some, the answers to these questions about these cardboard characters with their cardboard emotions won’t matter. Still, some cozy fans will be satisfied. Agent: Paige Wheeler, CMA Literary Agency.
