Homicide at the Haunted House

Nightmare, Arizona Paranormal Cozy Mysteries, Book 1

Murder, monsters, and a midlife crisis in Nightmare, Arizona

Divorced, broke, and broken down in the old mining town of Nightmare, Arizona, Olivia Kendrick is desperate for a job. At forty-two years old, she never thought she would be starting over like this, let alone in a tucked-away town filled with tourists, offbeat residents, and an outspoken UFO hunter. Olivia takes a job at a year-round haunted house, but when she arrives for her first day, she faces real horror: a local man's body has been dumped at the front entrance.

Olivia is an immediate suspect. After all, she's a stranger in town. As Olivia tries to find the real killer, she begins to realize her coworkers aren't just putting on a show every night at Nightmare Sanctuary Haunted House. And why does the "dog" running around have such long fangs?

Things only get worse when Damien Shackleford, the son of the haunted house's missing owner, shows up. He might be handsome, but his arrogant attitude makes everyone miserable. Olivia must forge a new life, solve a murder, and decide who's more of a monster: Damien or the actual monsters she works with . . .

Good story and great narrator

This series is a good read to just get away from the world for a while. It has fun characters, a good plot, and no unneeded sex scenes. It is quirky and not the usual paranormal story. Perfectly delightful.

Cute cozy mystery with supernatural creatures

Nice story with fun characters and good narration. I thoroughly enjoyed it. On to book two,,,

Fun engaging read

Fun and easy read. The story and characters were engaging and likable. Can’t wait to read the next book in this series!

Different

I have decided I am really becoming a fan of cozy paranormal mysteries and this one only reenforces that. Poor Olivia has hit a rough patch in her life. Then her car breaks down in a town called Nightmare. Even though Olivia plans to leave she starts to settle in and make friends. Of course there is a murder to solve but there is lots of fun along the way to the answer. #CMCon26
