The historical detail was spot-on and the characters well-drawn' Reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Meet Alma Timperley. She can: - Run a hotel - Solve a mystery - Talk to ghosts...? December, 1914: After the death of her aunt, Alma Timperley is surprised when she suddenly finds herself the heiress to the Timperley Spiritualist Hotel in a pretty coastal town in Cornwall. But not everything is as it seems... the hotel offers guests a very special service: the chance to communicate with the dead. When the body of one of the hotel's maids is found, it is considered a tragic wartime accident. But the more Alma and the local police try to fathom what happened, the more they begin to realise this is much more than just a death - there might be a German spy in Falmouth. With the stakes higher than ever, Alma must grapple with her own extraordinary secret if she is going to have more than a ghost of a chance of solving the mystery. Being able to talk with the dead is one thing; solving their murder is positively ghoulish... 👻🔎If you love murder mysteries with a hint of spookiness, then don't miss this unique and quirky paranormal read!👻🔎 Readers LOVE A Ghost Hunter's Guide to Solving a Murder: 'If you like historical fiction with a spooky vibe and a thoughtful mystery, this book is definitely worth a read' Reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'A well-plotted murder mystery wrapped up in an enthralling WW1 spy story' Fiona Leitch ''A thoroughly enjoyable ripping yarn' TE Kinsey 'A great story' Reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'Cleverly entertaining' Greg Mosse
