Synopsis

Every Halloween, the supposedly haunted Bell Hotel hosts its famous “Ghost-Hunters Dinner,” complete with scary stories, spooky apparitions, and things that go bump in the night. But this year’s event ends in a terrifying accident, and suddenly everyone wonders … Is there a real ghost loose in the hotel? Jack and Sarah are convinced that the culprit must be human: Who would want bad things to happen at the classic hotel? But soon they’re forced to confront their own superstitions as they find themselves on the trail of an unsolved Victorian murder.Set in the sleepy English village of Cherringham, this cozy detective series brings together an unlikely sleuthing duo: English web designer Sarah and American ex-cop Jack. Thrilling and deadly—but with a spot of tea—it’s like Rosamunde Pilcher meets Inspector Barnaby. Each of the self-contained episodes is a quick listen for the morning commute, while waiting for the doctor, or when curling up with a hot cuppa.

Goodreads review by Jadzia

I have to label it as a better one from short novels by Krentz. The heroine was not unnervingly naive and the hero was more than a bit uncertain, which was refreshing and rather pleasant, for a change. They deal together with hero's illness and the fraud ghost hunters in a typical manner. Tylical fo......more
