The Next Always by Nora Roberts
First in the trilogy. This one is about Claire, runs the local bookstore, widow hubby was killed in the war, who has 3 boys and is interested in Beckettt. He and his 2 other brothers are revamping to make the building an B&B in Boonsboro, MD
Love the bantering of the men as they work. This book is about Beckett.
The inn is haunted by a female ghost smelling on honeysuckle. They will try to figure out what that is all about with little subtle clues.
I read the second one and hope to find out the answers I had by reading the first one first, mostly the room names.
Great we get to catch up with other locals that have become more like family. Such an easy going crowd of get it done people.
The women involved have the decorating all set for each of the rooms. very extravagant.
The stalker is after Claire and she doesn't want to involve the cops but others talk her into it. The Montgomery boys outfit her house with monitoring lights and other measures to make her feel safe.
Holidays with the boys are so delightful to read about, so much to do.
Ghost, Lizzie helped with getting the stalker caught.
