About this listen

Every year, for the past four decades, Dr. John Perry, head of the Twinkleton Paranormal Society, hosts a gala ball and invites the quaint Oregon village’s most notable citizens (both living and dead) to attend a Ghost Walk. This year is no different—with one exception.

This year, John Perry will vie for the role of Ghost of Honor.

On leave while he recovers from injuries sustained in the line of duty, FBI Special Agent Archie Crane returns to Twinkleton, Oregon—and soon finds himself suspected of homicide by Police Chief Beau Langham. Beau and Archie go way back, and not all the memories are good. Ten years ago, Archie broke Beau’s heart. Is Beau looking for revenge or does he really think Archie capable of murdering his eccentric former guardian?

Excellent narration. The tale of arcane and sinister woo-woo worlds intersecting with law and order in true JL style. Our heroes Beau and Archie re-examine prior issues and intimacies in a fraught dramatic murder investigation from both sides of the interrogation table.

At 3hrs 34 mins there is a fleeting one off mention of Senior Special Agent Kennedy from The Art of Murder Series to emphasise the FBI connection between the characters.

ENJOYABLE. RECOMMENDED

I've enjoyed Josh Lanyon books for years. But this one follows in the same vein as many of her more recent releases - as in, it starts off great, there's lovely character development and a murder mystery with a cast of possible murderers. The romance comes together and the couple investigate together. And that is all the stuff M/M Romance murder mysteries are made of.

But, It feels like Lanyon has super ideas but doesn't know how to finish her books these days. The last few chapters are a sprint to the end. Lots of the 'action' is off-page, with the murderer admitting their crime in a letter. So we're told what happened rather than seeing the action played out and learning about the motivations of all of those involved. It's a kop out, and a disservice to readers. This particular book had a final chapter that was so abrupt I felt whip-lashed. it's such a shame. I wanted further character development and I wanted the action of the murderer(s) on page. Show don't tell. Tell took the wind out of what could have been a super story.

I cannot fault JF Harding's narration. I could listen to him reading a shopping list. His voice is sublime.

Great narration

I love Josh Lanyon’s books, they truly are in a different league to the majority of mm writers, but I do wish she’d give a bit more at the end of her books, part of our motivation for reading is the romance, which was sweet in this story, but barely there by the end of the story, I’d have loved an epilogue to just finish things off - excellent performance from the narrator

Fabulous writing as always…
