About this listen

Phantom PI Paul Harrison from the national best-selling Haunted Guesthouse mysteries returns with a tale of his own in a house full of ghosts, secrets, and spectacular oceanside views.…

Three years ago in a large Victorian house on the Jersey Shore in the town of Harbor Haven, fledgling private investigator Paul and his client, Maxie Malone, were murdered. Since then, recent divorcée and reluctant ghost whisperer Alison Kerby and her 10-year-old daughter, Melissa, have moved in and converted the place to a guesthouse, where Maxie and Paul are now checked in for an eternity and ready to solve any case that comes their way - or at least spook the guests (who love it). Alison’s got a lot on her plate at the moment, however, so when Paul discovers the 300-year-old ghost of a small boy in the house, he decides not to involve her in the case. The boy, named Eagle of the Sun, says he’s searching for his missing mother. Paul’s happy to help Eagle of the Sun find her, though something about the boy’s story doesn’t add up. But why would a lost little ghost lie?

Includes a preview of the next Haunted Guesthouse Mystery, Chance of a Ghost, available February 2013.

Editor reviews

A ghost story told from the perspective of a ghost - one who’s a private investigator residing on the New Jersey shore - lends itself easily to comedy. This light and spooky mystery plays with the detective genre in a style that young adult listeners will relish. A Wild Ghost Chase is part of a series about ghost P.I. Paul Harrison and his spectral friend Maxie; the house they share with its mother and daughter owners and the ways they accommodate each other and solve mysteries together. It is the first in the series to be told from the P.I.’s perspective and James Patrick Cronin performs him as a fairly straightforward gumshoe bringing comedic elements in when he and Maxie, who’s somewhat of a troublemaker, interact with the living.

Really enjoyed this story, as told by Paul. A good length too. Some of Copperman's others seem a little drawn out. Good conclusion, tying up loose ends. Definitely worth a listen.

A Very Different Ghost Story

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

This series of books is clean, clear escapism from the terrible world we live in. Yes there are deaths and murders but each one gives you an enjoyable story about how the investigation gets sorted. The author is using a different name and when you find their reality it will blow your mind. How have they got enough time to do everything in their lives? Must be bi-polar like me!

Who was your favorite character and why?

The previous owner of the house. Cant say to much otherwise it gives to much away. The character is very amusing and I wish they were with me!

What about James Patrick Cronin’s performance did you like?

Voices in audible books are very important as they can make or break them. When you read a story you imagine their voices and when it is read to you you hope it does not jar. This series of books are just spot on. Thank you.

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

It made me happy and relaxed.

Any additional comments?

I am going to recommend this series to many.

I had to listen to this on 1.5 speed as the narration was just too slow and I was in danger of giving up, but I’m glad I stuck with it because the story kept going and got funnier and better. I really enjoyed it.

Listened on 1.5x !

On the whole not a bad story in the series, a little different looking from Paul the ghosts perspective.
Biggest problem was the voices, Melissa who is supposed to be 10 sounded more like a middle aged woman who smokes 40 cigarettes a day. The grandma sounded like a cross between Joda and Alec Guinness.

Awful voices! thankful it was a short story

Prefer Amanda Ronconie as narrator, not used to hearing the stories through a male voice all the characters sounded wrong but overall a great little story that kept me spellbound for an afternoon of ironing.

Narration spoilt
