A bundle of books #1 (THE GHOSTLY GROUNDS: MURDER AND BREAKFAST), #2 (THE GHOSTLY GROUNDS: DEATH AND BRUNCH), and #3 (THE GHOSTLY GROUNDS: MALICE AND LUNCH) in Sophie Loves’s Canine Casper cozy mystery series. This bundle offers books one, two, and three in one convenient file, with over 200,000 words of reading. In THE GHOSTLY GROUNDS: MURDER AND BREAKFAST (Book #1), Marie Fortune, 39, a successful dog groomer in Boston, has had enough of catering to the wealthy and their pampered dogs. Realizing it is time to make a change, she quits and heads to a small coastal town in Maine where she remembers fond summers as a kid. Marie expects to go for a brief getaway—and is shocked to learn that her great-aunt left her an inheritance: a dilapidated, historic house high up on a hill overlooking the harbor. Marie feels an instant connection. Although the locals tell her it would be folly, Marie decides to renovate and give it a second life as a B&B. But there is one thing she couldn’t have planned for: the house is haunted. Two things, actually: her great-aunt also left her a dog—and he is far from a typical dog. When an unexpected death occurs soon thereafter, solving the crime will be more than just a matter of curiosity for Marie—her very future may depend on it. In THE GHOSTLY GROUNDS: DEATH AND BRUNCH (Book #2), other B&B owners have heard of Marie’s ability to expel ghosts, and she finds herself, to her own surprise, in demand for her “services” from neighboring towns. It seems there are many B&Bs that need to have their ghosts cleansed. With her B&B failing, Marie, her trusted dog as her sidekick, has nothing to lose. But when she arrives to her first client—and someone unexpectedly dies—Marie realizes she may be in for more than she bargained for. Once again, she may have to solve the crime to save her own future. In THE GHOSTLY GROUNDS: MALICE AND LUNCH (Book #3), when Marie, her reputation for ghost-cleansing growing, is summoned to exorcise an old manor house, she finds more than she bargained for: an unexpected death occurs. Worse, her trusted dog gets so sick, he is sent to the vet indefinitely. Marie, on her own, must solve the murder and expel the ghosts all by herself. Is she up to the task? A page-turning cozy, packed with mystery, love, hauntings, travel, pets and food—anchored around a small town and a B&B in need of renovation that will capture your heart—THE GHOSTLY GROUNDS is an un-putdownable cozy that will keep you turning pages (and laughing out loud) late into the night. Books #4 and #5 are also available!
