Inn Hallowed Ground, book three in the Spirit Lake Mysteries. See what Andie Rose and Sister Alice are up to now!

A life coach and her support dog, an unconventional nun, and the resident ghost… What could possibly go wrong?

After a troublous first year at her haunted inn, Andie Rose and her support dog, Aspen, finally settle into the quaint, cozy town of Spirit Lake, Minnesota. Tender green shoots of grass and daffodils peek through the melting snow, promising new life. But things turn deadly when two bodies are discovered two days apart at St. Michael’s cemetery.

Detective Parker, all too used to Andie Rose meddling in his investigations, isn’t at all surprised when she shows up at the crime scene. This time, his new-in-town twin sister is with her, and tempers flare as he warns them to stay out of his way.

But when Andie Rose realizes both victims had recent run-ins with her father, famous thriller author Chandler Langston, she’s dead set to prove her dad’s innocence. But can she clear him before she becomes the next victim?

As she uncovers shocking secrets of those she thought she knew, someone is intent on keeping her quiet at any cost. Can the inn’s resident ghost save her from impending harm when it seems the ones closest to her pose the greatest threat?

AND…

Finding Peace Through Gratitude: The Secret to Discovery Joy in Every Moment

Daily life can take you on a wild rollercoaster of twists, turns, thrills and disappointments.
And sometimes trauma hits home, washing away the very foundation on which you’ve built your life.

Finding Peace Through Gratitude will help you navigate the waters of uncertainty. Rather than life
controlling you and your emotions, you can control the way life impacts you. Rather than falling victim
to life’s circumstances, it’s possible to find peace in the midst of and following difficulty and trauma.

Each chapter ends with a hands-on challenge for the reader as well as a meditative phrase to practice.
Watch as your life is transformed by the completely free and utterly powerful gift of gratitude.

Praise for Rhonda’s Previous Works…

Inn the Spirit of Murder

“Not who I expected. I was blown away by this one. The whole coffee shop poison had me racking my brain on which one it was, but I never thought it would be who it was. I have a feeling the ex was up to something…maybe not in being a murderer but something is not all there with him. Shady lol. This was so so good. Sister Alice is my spirit animal. I yearn to be like her 🤣🤣🤣.”

“Great Author with many other books written. Wonderfully written. Waiting for her newest book out in February “Inn the Dead of Winter”, Her books bring you into the story and are greatly written.”

“Andie Rose is a flawed approachable character. She is intelligent, entrepreneurial, and sometimes allows herself to be pushed into a corner. Her inn becomes a crime scene when a recently fired employee is killed there. She has a good sponsor, Sister Alice who has a lot of down to earth wisdom. I greatly enjoyed the twists, turns, and characters in this mystery.”

“This was a strong start to the Spirit Lake Mysteries series, it had that element that I was looking for in the cozy mystery genre. The characters were everything that I was hoping for and enjoyed going on this mystery with them. Rhonda Blackhurst has a strong writing style and am excited for more.”

“Loved the constant action and suspense in family setting plus hilarious sidecar added humor! When is the sequel coming out?”

The Inheritance

“I really enjoyed this book! Rhonda has created some highly relate-able characters and I found it easy to hear the different voices as she switched perspectives. Very worthwhile purchase!”

“What an awesome book…because it really makes you understand what’s really important in life, the love of family.”

“I rarely review a book but this one hit home for me. Each character spoke to me and had a purpose. Thank you Rhonda for writing this book. It is now one of my favorites!”

Finding Abby

“A great read! Well-developed characters and storyline. A realistic portrayal of an abused woman’s fear and how all people struggle with various life difficulties. Unexpected twist at the ending! Looking forward to reading the second book in this series. I read every day and this is a book I will be recommending to others.”

“Rhonda covers all the bases in this one: love, anger, hostility, jealousy, betrayal, family, close mindedness, over protectiveness and that is just in the first chapter. I am kidding about it being all in the first chapter but it all is in the book. Rhonda writes so beautifully that you can see the mountains, the mountain lakes and the camp ground. Each person you can visulize, you know them. Excellent read from first page to last.”

Abby’s Redemption

“Met the author at an art and craft festival and decided to support her by purchasing her books. So glad I did! The Whispering Pines series is a must read! Love Rhonda Blackhurst writing style and story telling. Both books in the series are very much worth reading if you like a who dun it mystery.”

“The book grabbed me from the beginning. I felt like I personally knew Abby. Amazing story and fabulous message. Rhonda you are a very gifted author. My only complaint is that the book had to end. I can’t wait to read your next series !!”

“The majority of Blackhurst’s novels are difficult to put down, and this book is no exception. It’s easy to fall in love with the characters, as you feel connected with their lives. If you are looking for a mystery novel you can read in a weekend, this is a perfect choice. Although this is book 2, it’s not necessary to read the first book to understand the story line.”

Shear Madness

“Great story – Took a twist at the end that I hadn’t anticipated! Rhonda writes in a way that helps the reader visualize the scene – makes it a very fun read and even more suspenseful. I’m ready for the next one in the series!”

“It was an excellent read, caught your attention at the beginning and held it to the end. Likable characters that are well developed. Rhonda Blackhurst has a way of writing that is very visual.”

“Loved this cozy mystery and can’t wait for the next one in the series. Melanie is a charming character, the dialogue is witty and funny, and the mystery has a twist I didn’t guess.”

Shear Deception

“Wonderfully written, kept me in suspense!”

Shear Murder

“Very enjoyable cozy mystery. The dialogue draws the reader into the story and helps to develop the characters and story development. I was drawn in from the beginning. The main character attended a reunion gathering of old friends when the unthinkable happens. Great who-done-it with likable characters and a surprising ending. Highly recommended.”

Shear Holiday Mayhem

“I love all the Melanie Hogan books and my favorite is always the last one I read – because they keep getting better and better. Take a trip to Minnesota at Christmas to visit Melanie and her friends and you will be able to feel the cold of the snow and taste the holiday cookies. The mystery has surprising twists and the romances are sweet. Best of all are the friendships and Melanie’s special relationship with her Nana. If you want to get into the holiday spirit – read this now, though it will be a fun read at any time of the year.”

Shear Misfortune

“Brilliantly written mystery making it difficult to put the book down. Very enjoyable to read and entertaining! Love this series!”

“This was a fast-moving fun mystery with some surprises along the way. Thoroughly enjoyed it.”
