What's a Ghoul to Do? - Book Review


What's a Ghoul to Do? (Ghost Hunter Mystery #1)
by Victoria Laurie


What is it about:
M.J., her partner Gilley, and their client, the wealthy, de-lish Dr. Steven Sable, are at his family's lodge, where his grandfather allegedly jumped to his death from the roof-although Sable says it was foul play.

But the patriarch's isn't the only ghost around. The place is lousy with souls, all with something to get off their ghoulish chests. Now M.J. will have to to quell the clamor-and listen for a voice with the answers...


What did I think of it:
This is a fun read.

I really liked the writing style, the mood, and the mystery. M.J. is a fun and quirky lead character, and I especially loved her pet: a parrot called Doc who just doesn't know when to keep his beak shut. The mystery was fun to try to figure out, and I really enjoyed the overall story.

I did get annoyed by the ongoing joke of Dr. Sable mangling his English. Yes, we get it: he's foreign. He shouldn't be stupid however! Even if his English would be really bad, some of the mistakes he made were too dumb for words. For example: The Sixth Sense is a term that's also used in other countries, so it makes no sense at all Sable would think it's called a Six Cents! Also: Everybody and their dog knows it's playboy and not playing boy, even if they don't speak any other word of English!

That being said: all in all this is a very entertaining read. I might pick up the next book if I run into it.

Why should you read it:
It's a fun Paranormal read.
