Dance with the Dead (Gwen's Ghosts, Book 1) - HP Mallory & JR Rain

Exciting start to a new PWF series

 

I really enjoyed this book. It’s the first in a new PWF novella series. It has a wonderfully spooky aspect and a female MC who is a mystery novelist turned amateur investigator with a best friend who is a centuries-old ghost.


Gwen is a 42 year old woman whose life needs a kickstart after the end of her long term relationship. She decides to make a clean break, leave the USA and head for England, where she returns to the small village of Morley-on-Avon in the West Country; the place where as a child she had visited whilst on holiday and met Petra, a centuries-old ghost who has remained by her side ever since. The small cottage Gwen buys has a history; its previous owner died suddenly in an accident in the cottage. After seeing an apparition of the former owner, Gwen decides she has to investigate.


This is a fun book. I immediately liked Gwen and her prim Victorian ghostly sidekick. It feels a bit like a murder-mystery crossed with an English drama. The ending was unexpected, so I think there might be many a twist and turn before we get to the culmination of this tale. I’m quite excited to see what comes next.
