The Hostess with the Ghostess

 The Hostess with the Ghostess by E.J. Copperman (2018) 325 pages

Alison Kerby runs a guesthouse that is partially occupied with ghosts. She also has a private investigator license, which sometimes comes in handy, especially when her co-investigators are those same ghosts, and they need a live person to help get information.

This time, Richard, the newly deceased brother of one of her former resident ghosts arrives, wanting to help Cassidy, who has been accused of her stepfather's murder. Richard was a lawyer who had been helping Cassidy when he himself was murdered. Alison needs to find Paul, Richard's brother, in order to get his help with the case, and places an online personal ad, and also asks a local medium to try to get the message to him (although she's not sure that this medium is legit). As we learn more about the stepfather's murder, there's definitely some funny business going on, especially when his own wife and children ask Alison to stop working on the case.

Meanwhile, Alison is hosting several senior citizens in her haunted guesthouse, and has her ghosts doing shows for the guests twice a day. It's a fast, fun read, my second in the series. I plan to try out other series by the same author.
