Summary

When Danielle Boatman inherits Marlow House, she dreams of turning it into a seaside bed and breakfast. Since she's never visited the property, Danielle's not sure what awaits her in Oregon. She certainly doesn't expect to find one of the house's previous owners still in residence. After all, the man has been dead for almost 90 years - shouldn't he have moved on by now?

Charming Walt Marlow convinces Danielle the only way he can move on is if she solves the mystery of his death. Danielle soon discovers her real problems may come from the living - those who have their sights on Marlow House's other secrets.

Easy Listerning

Easy story reminds me of old childhood TV series (not book) Ghost & Mrs Muir. Enjoyed that as well.

A Great Ghostly Cozy Mystery

Bobbi Holmes is a new-to-me author and I really liked her writing style; I found this book very easy to read. I liked the pace at which her tale progressed and way she wove all the mysteries of this story together – both past and present. I must just say that I usually work out the mystery in these sorts of books before the big reveal at the end but that wasn’t the case with this one and I loved that! As a narrated book, I was impressed with Romy Nordlinger’s performance; loving the pace at which she read the story and her tonal adjustments for the dialogue. I would definitely buy books narrated by her in the future.

I loved that the characters, both living and dead, were complex and multi-dimensional, each with their own stories and I liked the twists and quirks that Ms Holmes created for them; it made them all feel very believable. I must also add that the fictional town of Frederickport was also richly drawn; steeped with history and charm and so well described, I was easily transported there.

I prefer to read stories with intelligent, witty heroines who have plenty of gumption and resilience and who never give up. Our leading lady here does not disappoint and her best friend, Lily, isn’t too shabby either.

Although I wouldn’t class this as a romance novel, I did enjoy how the friendship between Danielle and Walt built throughout this book as well as the romance between her best friend Lily and mystery man, Ian; the pace felt very natural and realistic in both.

A well written story, you could imagine the characters and house as if you were there, will listen to more of Bobbi Brown books and the narrator was brilliant Romy Nordlinger made the book come alive.
