About this listen

Emma Whitecastle would rather spend time with her boyfriend than help Joanna Reid get rid of her husband's ghost. But when she finds out Joanna's daughter has broken her engagement and attempted suicide, Emma and Granny Apples are compelled to investigate.

The multifaceted mystery unfolds in Hollywood, where a vengeful spirit strikes too close for comfort as Emma and Granny unearth a clue hidden in a haunted diamond. When the case leads Emma and a suave stranger to the historic mining town of Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania, Emma must call upon a ghostly group of Molly Maguires to ease the pain of a century-old marriage gone bad.

This is the first book by this author that I have listened to or read but I really enjoyed it, so it won't be my last, in fact I might have to get the other books in the series as well. I loved the characters and the writer wrote about them so well that I actually found myself caring about what happened to them. The ghostly visits really added to the fun of the story, especially the granny telling everyone what to do even if they couldn't hear hear her. The mystery was good the way it straddled the human and paranormal word and even though there was a lot of history it didn't bog the story down.
When an old family friend asks Emma to get rid of her husband's ghost her immediate reaction is no but when she learns the women's daughter and her own daughters friend has tried to commit suicide she is compelled to visit her. The sad story the girl tells her tugs at Emma's heartstrings and she soon finds herself knee deep in ghostly vengeance. But ghosts can't hurt humans, right? The death of a teenage girl seems to prove otherwise. The girl was wearing the same ring as the first girl was when she attempted suicide. Is there a connection? Emma with the help from her ghostly Granny start an investigation into the rings past as they fight to get to the bottom of the curse before another life is taken.
I liked the narrator and thought she did a really good job bringing all the characters to life with there own unique voices.
