PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In this sequel to Newbery Honor winning Three Times Lucky, Mo and Dale of the Desperado Detective Agency find themselves in the midst of another mystery involving their hometown of Tupelo Landing, N.C. But rather than bank robberies and dead bodies, this time around their investigation involves a supernatural twist. The sale of the Tupelo Inn sets off a chain of events that lead young detectives on a quest to find the origin of the ghosts that apparently haunt the inn. They must solve the case for the endearing Miss Lana, Mo's guardian, now the owner of the inn, as well as for the ghosts themselves. Told through the eyes of Mo, the narration calls for a mixture of wide-eyed innocence, inquisitive gumption, and Southern charm. Fortgang sets the tone perfectly and is an absolutely charming narrator. Listeners will think that they're listening to Mo tell her story directly. Her delivery is smooth and natural. The Southern twang, coupled with a shifting tempo of narration dependent upon the story's need, produces a perfect mix for listening enjoyment. Ages 10 up. A Dial hardcover.

Awesome
I literally could not stop reading this!! I was reading it for 6 hours straight!! My dad had to take my phone away so I wouldn't like destroy my vision!! But that is how good it is!! I was like about to have a meltdown when my dad took it from me!! But I got it back and finished it in two hours!! Oh, also if your a kid and your parents say you don't read enough just make the font bigger and you can say I just read a thousand page book! Even though it's only like three hundred!! 😉😹!! Anyway this book is amazing!!
A little boring
I don’t mean to be rude, but the book started off a little slow and not very excitingly. The conflict wasn’t really brought to attention as the main conflict until half way though the book. I stopped reading it mid way through cause I was bored. The rest of it was ok I guess
