5 Star Review by Chatting About Cozies
Release Date: June 25, 2024
”Haunting License” is a great addition to Author Carol J. Perry’s ‘Haunted Haven’ cozy mystery series! Protagonist, Maureen Doherty is looking for ways to increase business for the Inn, and gets the idea for a fishing tournament from some of the contents in an old trunk left by the Inn’s previous owner, Penelope Josephine Gray. The whole gang from the previous two story’s are back in this one, and there’s a doozy of a murder mystery to solve, plus a cold case from 20 years ago. Everyone helps. I thought the culprit was fairly transparent, but readers can judge that for themselves.
I really enjoy the helpful story cast—the front porch rockers; Chef Ted; interior decorator friends, Trent and Pierre who build a gorgeous gift shop for Maureen; the Inn ghosts—Lorna and Reggie—and Officer Frank Hubbard, to name a few. There’s just the right amount of humor to the story—I particularly enjoy ghost Lorna who loves helping herself to the women guest’s clothing when they’re not wearing it! Plus, I enjoyed learning about the bird species.
The plot is lively, entertaining, and thought provoking with the Indian Mounds the center of the crime and mystery. I highly recommend this story and the series!
I honestly reviewed an unedited arc provided by NetGalley and Kensington Publishing. All opinions are my own.
