Haunted House Symphony

Picture
I thoroughly enjoyed Haunted House Symphony by Sue Latham, even though the paranormal is not my forte.  The plot is well constructed and the conversations are straightforward.  I am looking forward to future books to learn more about the characters and enjoy more mysterious ghostly episodes.  

                              “On the day we got the first frantic phone call from Marsha Darnell, I was looking forward to a little bit of down time. We had spent most of the night before in a tavern inhabited by a particularly rambunctious poltergeist, and I had taken a thunk on the head from a flying beer bottle.”

    This begins a tale of the team of Margo, Ernie, Sandy and Elaine. They investigate paranormal happenings in the small town of Indian Springs.  They are called to look into inexplicable happenings in a house in the Victorian section of town that is being renovated by the new owner.  There they discover a phenomenon and a centuries old mystery.  
          There are a few side stories that the author relates to show not all mysterious happening are paranormal – like finding a trio of squirrels in the attic of a sweet lady who is just sure her late husband is trying to contact her.  
          I am looking forward to more in the series as Ms. Latham recounts more exciting stories about these zany, but dedicated people.  The humorous vein that runs through the story is great.  I hope Ms. Latham keeps it in future stories of the team. 
          This is a fun book to read.  You must get it and start reading about the people in the little town of Indian Springs.
