Royal Ghouls — Alex A. King

ROYAL GHOULS is the second book in the Greek Ghouls series: a comedic mystery set in Greece and steeped in ouzo. Things are heating up for Allie Callas, owner of Finders Keepers, a service dedicated to finding doodads, secrets, and occasionally people. No, wait, that's fire from the yacht that just slammed into the tiny Greek island of Merope. Plot twist: the passengers were already dead before the crash. Allie knows this because they're infesting her apartment, schmoozing her dead cat, and hogging the television. The ghosts found one of Allie's business cards tacked to a message board in the Afterlife, and now they expect her to figure out whodunit. Allie doesn't solve murders. Well, okay, she solved one, but she doesn't want to make it a habit -- not when the delicious Detective Leo Samaras, who may or may not be a serial killer, lives upstairs. Leo desperately wants to discuss that date they had (more like half a date), but Allie never wants to speak of it again. Ever. When one of the ghosts dangles irresistible information under Allie's nose, she reluctantly agrees to take the case. What are the odds she'll live to regret it? Will she ever get to eat the perfect sandwich? And why are all these dead chickens crossing the road?
