Uninvited Ghosts and Guests !, April 8 2011

This review is from: AN Uninvited Ghost (Mass Market Paperback)
E.J. Copperman has penned another page-turning, laugh filled, and excellent murder mystery. The Title of the book is "An Uninvited Ghost." The Title should be "The Uninvited Ghosts and Guests."Resident Guesthouse Owner, new Private Investigator, Alison, tries to keep order in her first week of opening her dream guesthouse in New Jersey. She already has the support of her darling daughter, Melissa. Her Mother, and Two resident ghosts. Now, the house is filled with a Senior Plus tour-group whom are excited by the prospect of timed ghost encounters, next a reality show group of 20-somethings that are known for their migraines and showing too much flesh, finally, she even invites a charming woman in her 80's that Ghost friend, Paul wants to prove is still alive.
No worries, the lady is until, she isn't!
Be prepared to laugh like crazy, perhaps until you need that headache medicine yourself, be prepared to fall in love with the ghosts, and cherish the friends, police woman, and everyone else in the book. Be prepared to aid all in solving a very unique murder mystery and quite satisfactorily.
I see an award nomination down the road...Mr. Copperman has been overlooked, in my opinion. Night of the Living Deed (A Haunted Guesthouse Mystery)Some Like It Hot-Buttered (A Double Feature Mystery)

like film noir on laughing gas, May 5 2011
By Autumn "Autumn" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: AN Uninvited Ghost (Mass Market Paperback)
If you had the ghost of Philip Marlow (picture Bogart here) stuck in a house filled with a gaggle of uninvited busy bodies, a film crew and a determined woman with her young daughter, what would you get? A murder mystery of zany proportions.While this is not the first "ghost" detective books I have read (Cleo Coyle did it first with her "Haunted Bookshop" series), this is certainly the funniest. Alison is running a guest house with her mother, daughter and two ghosts(yes, they talk to her) when a virtual army of odd "guests" arrive to get things hopping. The "murder" in question is brought to the attention of Alison via a "ghost" friend of her resident "ghost"...if that isn't enough to tell you how different this book is, hold onto your ectoplasm.
A combination of witty, tongue-in-cheek humor, outright zany antics, an overt murder that is not as easy to figure out as it first appears, I found this novel a refreshing take on the cozy genre and the "paranormal" craze. Ghosts that are more like living(although invisible) people make for an entertaining mixture in the overall B&B mystery series. With genuinely likable characters and a traditional murder mystery wrapped in comic relief, I would recommend this series to all who enjoy a good mystery and a little ghostly humor. Excellent.
Since I mentioned it above, the "Haunted Bookshop" series by Cleo Coyle writing as Alice Kimberly is another excellent "ghostly detective" series. It is a bit more serious with its mysteries but still very entertaining in the way that the "ghost" assists with solving things, especially when he is talking in the background(in the woman's head) while she is trying to carry on a conversation with various people. They develop a very comfortable and caring relationship...as much as one could have with a ghost. Highly recommended.

Check In, April 25 2011
By Matthew J. Kaufhold - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: AN Uninvited Ghost (Mass Market Paperback)
This is one haunted guest house you should book in advance! This amiable blend of wry humor, B&B whodunit, and spectral Philip Marlowes adds up to a quirky adventure with resident detective/innkeeper Alison Kerby. She manages to solve a murder while staying out of the intrusive limelight of a reality television show and all the time juggling the challenges of single parenting. And Alison manages to keep her sense of humor intact. Copperman's narrative clips along with enough dry observation and ghostly humor to entertain a full house!
Listmania!
