Set in Salem, Massachusetts, this fun, cozy series sees a widowed B&B owner teaming up with a charming ghost to solve murders—an engaging read for fans who like a paranormal tinge to their mysteries.

Saturday night at the movies has some added flair now that Darren and Elise Shultz are reopening one of Salem's classic theaters. Charlene is delighted to help the couple with their venture, and Darren has lined up a cult classic double-header featuring Lon Chaney in The Wolfman. But things get hairier than expected when Elise starts to choke on her popcorn mid-movie—and once the lights go up,
she's dead . . .

When tests reveal Elise's popcorn was poisoned, Detective Sam Holden eyes her husband as the guilty party. Charlene doesn't believe Darren would hurt his wife—even if his company's specialty seasoned salts were sprinkled on the fatal snack. But who else had a motive to do something so unsavory? With a little help from Jack, the handsome ghost who haunts her B&B, Charlene delves into the ill-fated couple's past. And the more she learns, the more Charlene wonders if this time, she's bitten off more than she can chew . . .

      A Massachusetts B&B owner and her resident ghost extend their history of involvement in murders. Grieving widow Charlene Morris, who left Chicago to open a B&B in ghost-ridden Salem, has built a wonderful new life with the help of handsome detective Sam Holden; Avery Shriver, a teen who's overcome many obstacles and is like a daughter to her; and Dr. Jack Strathmore, the attractive spirit who haunts her house. Charlene and Avery are attending the grand reopening of the Spellbound Movie Theatre to see a double bill of classic Wolf Man films. Darren Shultz has poured plenty of the fortune he's made in the seasoned salt business into the historic building in his wife Elise's hometown, where her sister Patty's bakery will supply soft pretzels for the enterprise. It's bad enough when Elise apparently chokes to death on specialty salted popcorn during the screening; it's even worse when it turns out that she was poisoned, marking Darren as the natural suspect. Despite their recent disagreements over having children and Elise's suspicion that Darren had been cheating with his creative muse, Klara Maxwell, Charlene doesn't believe that Darren killed his wife. Despite Sam's reluctance to see Charlene involved in yet another murder case, he realizes that she can extract much more information from suspects than he can. With help from Jack, Avery, and Avery's boyfriend, Seth, who runs the popcorn booth, Charlene begins to turn up other possible candidates and a lot of dangerous secrets from the past. A tasty tale for those who like their mysteries with a dash of paranormal fantasy.
