Fabulous!  This is the second book in the Haunted Guesthouse series by E.J. Copperman.  After the first book, Night of the Living Deed, I was hooked.  After reading An Uninvited Ghost, I'm still hooked.  When's the third book coming out?

An Uninvited Ghost is something classic with a modern twist... it reminded me of those old whodunnit books where someone is murdered and everyone in the room must stay until the detective solves it.  Though, in this case, everyone had to stay in and around Alison Kerby's guesthouse while she and her PI ghost friends tried to solve the murder of a friendly old woman.  The modern twist?  This is all going on while a season of the reality show Down The Shore is being taped in the guesthouse.  Hello, drama!  Drama especially when one of the stars goes missing.

What's great about the Haunted Guesthouse mysteries are the characters.  They have distinct personalities and life goals (can a ghost have a life goal?) and they can all make me laugh.

Oh my gosh, the ending.  You will not believe the ending when you get to it!  It was a mystery to me the whole time, who could have been the murderer, but when you finally find out who it was, you will be shocked.  It was an ingenious turn of events, if you ask me.

If you haven't read it yet, I highly recommend going and getting Night of the Living Deed.  Once you read it, you'll see what I mean and then you'll be all set to read An Uninvited Ghost.  An Uninvited Ghost will be released April 5, 2011.
