Haunted Haven Mystery, Book 3

By: Carol J. Perry

Narrated by: C.S.E. Cooney

The latest novel in this supernatural cozy series from the author of the Witch City Mysteries features a New Englander transplanted to a Florida town along the Gulf of Mexico when she inherits a charming, century-old—and very haunted—inn from a mysterious benefactor.

It's June in Haven, Florida, a "between seasons" time in the tourism business, and Maureen's Haven House Inn is feeling the pinch. There are plenty of ghosts in residence, but Maureen needs living guests to pay the bills.

Inspired by an old brochure she finds in a trunk she inherited along with the inn from her mysterious benefactor Penelope Josephine Gray, she gets the idea to revive a June fishing tournament from twenty years ago, hoping to reel in anglers who'd love to catch the Gulf Coast's kingfish and take home a trophy.

But one fisherman won't make it to the tournament. While walking on the beach with her golden retriever Finn, Maureen discovers a body. When Officer Frank Hubbard arrives, he recognizes local charter boat fisherman Eddie Manuel.

Now it's up to Maureen and her spirited sleuths to sort through the red herrings and bait a hook for a killer before someone else ends up sleeping with the fishes . . .

Characters Worked Well Together

Wonderful characters, suspenseful story about someone stealing artifacts over the years and a murder. Humans, animals & ghosts get involved in this story.

Good one

This was exciting from beginning to end. There is one more in this series and it comes out I believe in May. So I look forward to that.

Wonderful series

This series is worth your time. The characters, the setting, and the story are definitely fun!

5/5 Excellent series

Great characters, setting, and plot.. Entertaining from beginning to end. I have enjoyed all of Carol J. Perry's books.

C.S.E.Cooney--love the narration.

Ready for the next in the series!

Good plots, good writing…..sorry that your proofreader did not catch the mistake on the second floor office room number! It just screamed at me- that’s the wrong number! A minor error that didn’t detour from the enjoyment of the story. When I first heard Cooney narrate, I was not impressed. Her voice was too soft and almost monotone. As I have traveled through Perry’s stories, Cooney has done a better job with each reading.
