Dead Reckoning (Gwen's Ghosts, Book 5) - HP Mallory & JR Rain

I love where this series is going now. 

This is the fifth novella in this PWF series. I love the partnership of crime novelist turned amateur sleuth and her ghostly sidekick.

I really enjoyed the plot of this book. Good old fashioned investigating … or in Gwen’s case, sticking her nose into other people’s business.

If you’re a fan of light-hearted, cosy mysteries, I recommend this series.

Left for Dead (Gwen's Ghosts, Book 4) - HP Mallory & JR Rain

The spooky adventures of an amateur sleuth.

This is the fourth novella in this PWF series. It’s a fun series and I am enjoying it but I do wish the books were longer. I enjoy the main character’s interactions with the ghost who has been her companion since childhood. 

Our female MC is a mystery novelist turned amateur investigator along with her best friend who is a centuries-old ghost. Having recently moved from the hustle and bustle of city life in the USA to a quaint little village in the south west of England, Gwen could be forgiven for thinking that the pace of her life would slow down somewhat. However, life in her village doesn’t seem to fit the stereotype of sleepy and quiet. So far she’s solved a murder, nearly been murdered herself and has now taken it upon herself to investigate the mysterious disappearance of a young man from the village. All while trying (not very hard) to shake off the amorous attentions of two men from the village who despise each other – not an easy task when she likes them both and sharing doesn’t seem to be an option.

Dead of Night (Gwen's Ghosts, Book 3) - HP Mallory & JR Rain

Murder mystery solved, for now.

 

This is the third novella in this PWF series. I really enjoyed this book. 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 finally gets to the bottom of the mystery surrounding the murder of the previous owner of her little cottage. 

I have thoroughly enjoyed reading this story. Its small village setting and the relatable characters are a joy. There’s nothing quite like a murder in a sleepy village to ramp up the excitement. 

Apparently there will be more in this series. I am looking forward to them.

Dead and Gone (Gwen's Ghosts, Book 2) - HP Mallory & JR Rain

Enjoyable, light-hearted read.

 

These are fun novellas. I really enjoyed this book. It’s the second 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 and her ghostly side-kick are still investigating the mysterious death of the previous owner of her cottage. Things are getting serious and they might just have got themselves in a little bit over their heads.

The writing is wonderfully easy to read and this book is perfect for an evening in. I love the characters, I want to see how they will develop. I love the setting of a small English village with the gossip and tall tales that accompany village life. I love the ghostly sidekick. It’s a very enjoyable and light-hearted read. I’m keen to see where it goes.

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.
