Doom with a View by Kate Kingsbury is the second book in the Merry Ghost Inn Mystery series. I had read the previous book, but it is not necessary to enjoy this one. Melanie and her grandmother, Liza, are welcoming their first guests to the Merry Ghost Inn. The inn is a bed and breakfast with a permanent resident ghost. The week is off to a good start until one of the guests is found dead in the driveway. Melanie, Liza, and the remaining guests are all suspects. Determined not to let this latest murder ruin the inn's reputation, Melanie and Liza risk the wrath of the detective in charge to solve the mystery. This was an easy to read book. The characters including Max the dog and Orville the ghost add to the charm of this series. I am already looking forward to the next book.
Neila Young's Brewing Up Murder is the first book in the Coffee Cup Mysteries series. Blake is the owner of Mystery Cup Cafe in Wilton, a town made famous by a series of murders years ago. When Blake's flighty barista is found dead in the cafe, Blake finds herself drawn into the mystery. This was a strong first book. The mystery was interesting, and the characters engaging. I enjoyed the unusual theme of the setting. The story includes a bit of romance and plenty of family shenanigans.
