Review: Bed, Breakfast and Bones

Bed, Breakfast and Bones Bed, Breakfast and Bones by Carolyn L. Dean
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

You have to read this book. I just finished one book and started this one. Much to my surprise I couldn't put it down. Great book about a lady wanting to start over. She inherited a bed and breakfast and a buried body. Loved it. Set up til midnight reading.
Don't you just hate an author that does that to you. Lol. Yea. Right.
