Summary

Ellie has an ailing sister to care for and working as a ghost hunter who doesn't believe in ghosts helps cover the bills for both of them. When she's lucky, it also pays for the occasional tropical vacation. Her brother doesn't exactly approve, but Ellie figures she's providing a service. On her latest job, though, she may be in for some genuine scares.

The skeptical, reserved, and very rich Nicholas Hartford III has flown her all the way to his family's ancestral estate in England - supposedly haunted by a phantom named Xavier. Nicholas thinks it's all just as much a crock as Ellie's business is, but the fact remains that something is causing the flashes of light, mysterious accidents and other apparent pranks in the chilly, eerie castle. His mother is sure that Xavier is real, and he's willing to employ Ellie if she can get to the bottom of it and put a stop to the nonsense.

While the food and accommodations are somewhat disappointing (IKEA furniture? Really?), Ellie is finding it an adventure to get to know this eccentric family and their houseguests and to poke around in the nearby village for clues. But when an actual dead body appears - and subsequently disappears - at Castle Hartford, she'll have to apply her talent for trickery and psychological insight to solve a flesh-and-blood murder.

Great story

The lead character is well written and not your normal damsel in distress who needs a man to rescue her, she has her own mind being strong and intelligent.
The story is very good with a different angle on the Murder mystery / Paranormal type.

Delightfully Different

Although I try not to listen to books from American authors, I found this to be a delight. Partly the delight is due to the book and partly to the narrator who really brought it to life.

There is humour here and a light touch to the writing which makes the book fun to listen to. A few of the characters are developed and some merely sketched in, so it's not a book where you can detect whodunnit, really you just go along for the ride.

I have to give the author full marks for creating a different slant on paranormal investigations (there are a few surprises) and also for being able to insert into the dialogue humour that is both subtle and funny.

Full marks and can we get the next one please?
