Summary:(Three different stories)
HAUNTED HOUSE MURDER by LESLIE MEIER
Newcomers to Tinker’s Cove, Ty and Heather Moon have moved into a dilapidated house reputed to be a haven for ghosts. Now strange noises and flickering lights erupt from the house at all hours and neighborly relations are on edge. And when a local boy goes missing near the house, it’s up to Lucy Stone to unravel the mystery of the eccentric couple and their increasingly frightful behavior.
DEATH BY HAUNTED HOUSE by LEE HOLLIS
For the past two years, the house next door to Hayley Powell has sat abandoned after the owner died under mysterious circumstances. The Salinger family has recently taken possession of the property, but the realtor behind the deal has vanished—after a very public and angry argument with Damien Salinger. If Bar Harbor’s newest neighbors are murderers, Hayley will haunt them until they confess.
HALLOWED OUT by BARBARA ROSS
With its history of hauntings and ghost sightings, Busman’s Harbor is the perfect setting for Halloween festivities. But when a reenactment of a Prohibition-era gangster’s murder ends with a literal bang and a dead actor from New Jersey, Julia Snowden must identify a killer before she ends up sleeping with the fishes.
My review:
I have to start out by saying that I did not read the last two stories. For some reason, I was unaware that this was three different authors and three different stories. Therefore, since I did not realize until after the first story, I am only going to review the first.
This story started out as a community who was fed up with an old dilapidated house in their neighborhood. It turns out, the house is suddenly sold and rumors begins because the neighbors aren't friendly at all. A hair raising event happens that causes uproar with the new neighbors and a funny twisted ending. Yes, I said funny.
A typical looking "haunted" house sets the scene nicely. Spooky noises with flickering lights make for the fun but spooky scare. Then there is the couple. A witch? A ghost? Ah, so much intrigue all wrapped up into a good little story. This story has everything a good cozy mystery would have.
I am giving this 3 pumpkins.
