When Louisiana's most haunted B&B opens its doors to a debunker, a mysterious murderer settled the dispute in this paranormal cozy mystery. When Holly Davis converted a historic plantation house into a charming bed and breakfast, she had no idea that its most popular feature would be the resident ghost. But after the TV show Inquiring Minds airs its indisputably haunting footage, the reservation line is ringing off the hook. There's only one small problem: the ghost of her not-so-dearly-departed husband Burl appears to have . . . departed. Holly is willing to keep up a spooky pretense for the sake of business, but after an outspoken debunker challenges the show's credibility, Holly is sure she'll be exposed as a charlatan. Surprisingly, the debunker suddenly becomes a believer—after he's pushed off the widow's walk to his death and rises as a ghost. Now his inquiring mind wants to know who murdered him. When he asks for Holly's help, she can't say no. But this time it's her turn to watch her step, because if the killer gets spooked, the next ghost haunting the B&B may be its owner . . .
A mystery “written with an incredible Southern twist . . . Page turning, fun, and filled with suspense—and very unique characters” (Heather Graham, New York Times–bestselling author). As the owner of a charming Louisiana bed and breakfast, Holly Davis believes in Southern hospitality—but she draws the line at welcoming the ghost of her cheating husband . . . Burl Davis checked out of this life a little earlier than expected—before Holly could serve him with divorce papers over his extramarital flings. Unfortunately, it was not before he nearly bankrupted her beloved B&B, Holly Grove, a converted plantation that has been in her family for generations. Holly would never wish anyone dead, but three months later she’s feeling a lot more relief than grief. Until Burl’s ghost appears as an unwelcome guest. Before his spirit can move on, her not-so-dearly departed needs Holly’s human help to bust up the drug smuggling ring he was involved with. She has reservations, to say the least, but agrees to assist him if he’ll make a show of haunting the B&B to draw in visitors. But when Holly’s former love, Jack McCann, mysteriously resurfaces in town and checks in, she has to wonder if her B&B is big enough for the ghost of her husband and the very real physical presence of her old flame . . . “A romp of a ride . . . Delta Ridge more than delivers its share of eccentric characters, venal criminals, and laugh-out-loud moments.” —Kings River Life Magazine “Impossible to put down—a sassy Southern romp of a read.” —Susan M. Boyer, USA Today–bestselling author
