I’d like to take a moment to appreciate not just one punny mystery title, but a series of titles that incorporate the same pun and don’t have an appreciable drop-off in amusement value. It’s not the strongest pun, but it reaps rewards over time. Sometimes a title will come across my screen that’s ideal in terms of its hilarity, but it’s difficult to figure out how an author could extend that joke value across additional books. Since these sorts of books usually come in series, that can be a real challenge. Other books in the Ghost Hunter Mystery series include What’s a Ghoul to Do?, Demons are a Ghoul’s Best Friend, Ghouls Just Haunt to Have Fun, Ghouls Gone Wild, and Ghouls, Ghouls, Ghouls.
