Uninvited House Ghosts

East House Mysteries, Book 1

De: Rachel Ford

Narrado por: Naomi Rose-Mock

Ghosts are real, and they’re watching over their families. Sometimes, that’s a good thing. But not for the Evanses.

Tennessee Evans comes from a long, undistinguished line of crooks, grifters, layabouts, and rascals. She’s made her share of mistakes, sure, but she’s trying to break the mold. Even after a contentious breakup that hits her emotionally and financially, she works hard, keeps her head up, and carries on.

Then her ex winds up murdered in her backyard. And her prints are all over the murder weapon. She didn’t do it, but no one believes her.

Especially not the pigheaded, infuriatingly hot lead detective investigating the case. On the contrary, she seems to have it out for Tennessee.

Tennessee knows she needs help, and she needs it fast. What she doesn’t know is that the ancestral spirit council is on the job. Which is probably for the best, since their last few missions have ended in disaster – and the odd, accidental death. (Sorry about that, Jane!)

The council dispatches a 20th century American tax expert and an 18th century British criminal to tackle the case. Whether the pair can put aside centuries of personal and cultural differences to save Tennessee is anyone’s guess.

But one thing’s for sure – Marshmeadow will never be the same after this ill-advised haunting!

A supernatural cozy mystery with outrageous shenanigans, cute dogs, found family, a slow burn lesbian romance, and an old, definitely haunted house full of secrets.

Ancestors helping to solve a murder

The book and the narration were good. Ancestors helping solve a murder from beyond the grave. Elderly neighbors keeping an eye out for their young neighbor, in a smalltown in Wisconsin.

If you are looking for mystery, murder, ghosts and some light humor, this book is for you.

Enjoyed The Ancestral Spirit Council

I was very entertained by this story. I felt for Tennessee Evans as she was suffering from a serious break-up only to find the body of her ex in her backyard, and since the murder weapon had her prints, she became the prime suspect. I enjoyed the two agents sent from the ancestral spirit council to help Tennessee, and I appreciated their interactions which often caused me to smile. I liked all the surprising events which culminated into the solution. I thought Naomi Rose-Mock's narration started out a little choppy, but her performance improved as the story progressed. I liked all the various voices she portrayed. I was given a copy of the audiobook. I volunteered, without financial gain, to post this review which reflected my honest opinions regarding this audiobook.

3 1/2 stars

Uninvited House Ghosts: A sapphic paranormal cozy mystery (East House Mysteries Book 1), my forty-ninth read from author Rachel Ford. This time Ford delves into the ghost mystery genre and with somewhat less success than her normal writing. “I received a free Kindle copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review." The gifting of this book did not affect my opinion of it. (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 - July 24, 2018).
