Another great one!
Fun and entertaining 😄
But I just wanted to say that no gifts are always the same.

A great cozy paranormal mystery.
I enjoy this series of Danielle and Walt Marlow with their Beach Street neighbors. Bobbi writes a good mystery in my humble opinion . I will read all the Haunting Danielle books.

What a FANTASTIC ghostly mystery!
Had me reading so fast my eyes had a hard time keeping up! I loved the story line and the characters. This series is in my top 3 ghostly mystery series that I absolutely love. Every book has kept my attention from beginning to end and manys the night I've lost sleep over not being able to stop reading. Always one more chapter which leads to another and another and so on. Absolutely phenomenal series!

I'm really starting to hate them all. It might be best if Holmes ends the series sooner rather than later.

Is he a phony? They think so but then crazy things keep happening. We learn a bit more about the spirit world that was interesting. WTF the dude hitting on heather like damn son. I’m super looking forward to what happens next.

When Danielle and Walt reopen the B&B, their first guests are her former mother-in-law and a famous medium. Of course, the Beach Drive mediums (even Marie) are very skeptical. But as Eva points out, maybe they don't know everything!

When I reach for a solid cozy mystery- this is series is a no brained for me. It’s quick and funny while still encompassing a mystery, generally of the murderous sort. I absolutely love it.

Another fun cozy mystery in this delightful series.

This was a fun read. The murderer was slightly easy to guess, but all of the different suspects were fun to consider. I also greatly enjoy the shake up with the other mediums. It was fun reading of a new type of medium that the universe decided to throw into the mix.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.

Another amazing and unique story by Holmes! I inhaled this book and refused to put it down until I finished it. I honestly wish I wouldn’t do that and would instead savor each sentence. However, it had me on the edge of my seat awaiting answers the entire time.
Is he real? No. No. Yes. Nah. Maybe? I had these thoughts The. Entire. Read. The answer I was seeking wasn’t given until the very end. Isn’t that part of what makes a book sooo good…and delicious! Yes, Bobbi, I just called your book delicious. But it was!
I also questioned who the killer was all the way until about two-thirds of the way through. I had my suspicions, but didn’t make up my mind who I honestly believed the killer was until I was about sixty percent done. And, guess what? I was correct! I just didn’t know how the end game would piece together and conclude.
The guessing game is what I love so much about Bobbi’s Haunting Danielle series. And every book in this series is always so unlike other books I’ve read. Not predictable at all. I mean, who else has written that a former ghost becomes a real life living breathing tangible person? Wild!
Keep up the amazing stories, Bobbi!
I’m so thrilled there is another book available! Next is Book 31 - The Ghost and the New Neighbor.
I hope it isn’t Walt and Danielle’s new neighbor and if it is, please don’t let that be Joe and Kelley not only because Kelley can’t stand Heather and is obvious about that fact, but also because Kelley is nosy and petty and there’s no way in heck the Medium Crew will be able to keep their secrets with her as a neighbor.

Now we are clear up to book #30 and I'm trying not to read very fast because I don't want to run out of this series! It is truly my favorite series. I cannot tell you even one thing that I don't like. Every book in the series is fantastic! They are clever, entertaining, and just enough magic.
In this book Danielle and Walt have just reopened the B&B for Thanksgiving and their first guests are Danielle's former mother-in-law and her male friend Finn, who is an acclaimed medium. The mediums of Beach Drive think he's a con man but maybe there are different kinds of mediums? It was nice to learn more about Danielle's life before she came to Marlowe House and get some closure on her previous marriage.

Danielle’s former mother-in-law, Madeline, shows up to the B&B with Finn, a medium, in tow. Finn gives some shady readings that are close to the truth, but can’t see the ghosts that everyone else can. Charlie shows up to sell his mother’s house. Shannon is agoraphobic whose twin brother Rusty died 10 years ago. Charlie was in business with Rusty. Eden is Shannon’s cousin who lives next door and Shannon own half of her house. Shannon is poisoned and everyone is trying to figure out ‘who done it.’
A cute cozy!

Nobody has all the answers
Danielle's former mother-in-law and her new friend arrive at the b & b. Find says he is a medium, but doesn't see the ghosts that the mediums see. Does he just guess or is something more sinister happening. Add to that another murder and an old friend of Joe's and everything gets more interesting. Who murdered Shannon? Could it really be an accident?
Another excellent boobk from Bob Holmes.
A must read for all lovers of the supernatural world.

Oh how I love this series!
It is still my most favorite series amongst all my favorites! It was one of the first ones I began reading when my husband gave me my first Kindle 10! Way back when! I keep thinking the last shoe will drop and the Final book will be written and read! Cross my fingers! I hope that will be years to come!

Family
When her first husband died and she found out he had been with his liver it had thrown Danielle into a tailspin and she didn't know if her mother in law knew of her husbands infidelity. With her former mother in law coming for Thanksgiving and with a so called medium Danielle and Walt had no idea what was going to come from this visit. I love this series and I am can't wait to see what they are having a boy or a girl.😍❤🍼🚼

November has arrived in Frederickport & along with it the gray, gloomy weather.
Eden is on a date that she didn’t want to go on, but with a free meal at the
best restaurant in town she can’t complain. At the restaurant also are a group
of friends that live on Beach Drive that are making plans for Thanksgiving.
Little does Eden know that soon Frederickport will be in the middle of multiple
murders with several suspects including Eden herself.

Absolutely loved it...as I have the whole series so far. There are always a few subtle life skill messages throughout these books. Yes we can all learn from them. Being less judgemental of others and their differences is a good lesson. These books are so much fun, and I love the way the characters are evolving. Sooo looking forward to Book 31.

Great book
I have read this entire series from the beginning and I think the books just get better. Although I did guess the killer in this book early on. To really understand the later books, please read the series from the beginning. You do need to embrace the paranormal for these books. But that is my favorite thing about them

Very hard to put down.
This series continues to be fresh and interesting even after 30 books. The characters remain true to who we met originally, with normal enlightenment life would bring. Interesting new characters get added, interesting conflicts happen, there are annoying neighbors and relatives to deal with, and always a good mystery.

Best yet
I’ve read this series of 30 books in less than 6 months. Each one is better than the last. All the characters feels like old friends. It’s real life mixed in with the supernatural. I don’t like to give away the story when I review a book, just let you know how entertaining it is. I finished this in 2 days. I really hope they continue with these stories.

Can't believe I've read 30 books in this series so far! I'm so excited to read the next 4 that are out, but I've run out of all the "free" ones on Kindle and audible so I'll need to wait until the rest become available. I'll miss Walt and Danielle and the rest of Beach Drive until then! I absolutely love these cozy mysteries.

June 1, 2025I think what keeps me listening, despite the one dimensional characters, weirdly antiquated values and generally bad writing, is the lore around how ghosts work. I honestly think it seems plausible. And the introduction of a new medium who can see a different kind of spirit than Danielle and the gang is actually interesting. On to the next one, though I hope Kelly gets hit by a bus soon.

I am a beta reader so I read for free and give a review. I love all of these books. This story kept me wondering about the so called medium till the end. There was a murder and I was surprised till almost the end. Thanks again Bobbi for a wonderful read.
May 22, 2022
I love the new twist
Watching Danielle try to figure out how a successful medium whose gift doesn't work the same way as hers and the other Beach Drive mediums kept me intrigued right up to the climax. I hope we see more of Finn!

Fantastic series! I love that it is a little bit of so many genres. A little mystery, a little paranormal, a little romance, a little comedy. It checks all the boxes. I can’t wait to see who wins the battle for the new real estate listing. November can’t get here soon enough!!
