Synopsis (Goodreads):
Normally, Sunni would balk at a mundane news story like the 250th anniversary of a hotel, but she’s excited to cover the event. Firefly Junction’s Thornbridge Hotel is not just any historical old relic. It is home to Thomas McRooney, a ghost who knew Edward Beckett when he was a tall, handsome Englishman riding around town on his steed. Sunni hopes to contact the otherwise elusive ghost and hear stories about Edward and the woman he loved.

When the hotel’s ornery chef dies under suspicious circumstances, the celebration is cut short. Sunni once again finds herself wrapped up in a murder case. Or was it just a tragic accident? The hotel’s oldest inhabitant believes there was foul play. But how does one use the eyewitness account of a man who’s been dead for nearly two hundred years?
Thoughts on Terror at the Thornbridge Hotel: We're back in Firefly Junction and things are heating up. Well, actually, the weather's cooling down. But Sunni has stumbled over a dead body (without any actual stumbling) and she's making friends with others of the supernatural set. So, you know, it's mostly business as usual.

Both the body and the ghost come courtesy of the Thornbridge Hotel. The ghost has been there for a while (since Edward's time, as it turns out), but the dead body is a new development. Sunni being Sunni, she starts looking into things (even though all signs point to a tragic accident) while also making nice with the resident ghost.

An anniversary gala that doesn't get to play out, a victim who was NOT universally liked, a very polite ghost, and a interesting twist that has me wondering if the hunky resident detective (aka Sunni's dude) will start questioning his choice of job. TIME WILL TELL!
