Publisher Description
A Perfectly Proper Murder…
Going home again isn't easy. After years abroad, Maddie Kosloski is a fish out of water in her rural hometown, and all she wants is to restart her overseas career. Instead, she gets a small-town paranormal museum, a fresh corpse, and a ghost-detecting cat.
With her high school bully as one of the detectives in charge of the investigation, Maddie doubts justice will be served. And when one of her best friends is arrested, she's certain it won't be. Juggling ghost hunters, obsessed taxidermists, and the handsome motorcyclist next door, Maddie must solve this murder—and fast—before she becomes the next ghost in the museum.
A hilarious whodunit packed with quirky characters, a cat with an attitude, and murder, this light paranormal mystery is perfect for fans of Jana DeLeon, Laura Childs, and Juliet Blackwell. Get cozy with book one in the Paranormal Museum mystery series and start this charming mystery today.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Maddie Kosloski, the narrator of this diverting series debut from Weiss (The Hoodoo Detective), plans to spruce up the museum side of Chuck's Chicken Shack and Paranormal Museum in her hometown of San Benedetto, Calif., while her friend Adele Nakamoto transforms the chicken side into a tea house. When Maddie and Adele spot a dead woman sprawled in the passage connecting the museum and the shack, the body turns out to be that of the cheat-mate of Adele's former fianc , and Adele is arrested for murder. Dieter Finkielkraut, Adele's contractor, has some explaining to do, as Maddie discovers, particularly about his constant flow of on-the-job visitors. Meanwhile, Maddie has to contend with the members of the ghost-hunters group who meet in the museum, as well as nasty Laurel Hammer, one of the detectives investigating the murder, who has bullied Maddie since their early school years. Humor, hints of romance, and twists and turns galore elevate this cozy about the average.
Customer Reviews
Paranormal museum
A quirky read. A reluctant job as possible owner of the museum, including ghosts sets Maddie on the path of murders in the museum. Rocking chairs rocking on their own, cats who see ghosts and a love interest, what more could you want.
