The Ghost Hunter Next Door: A Beechwood Harbor Ghost Mystery (The Beechwood Harbor Ghost Mysteries Book 1) Kindle Edition

by Danielle Garrett (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.5 out of 5 stars 2,011 ratings
The first rule of being a ghost whisperer: Don’t tell anyone.
Seriously. Don’t.

Sure, it might sound harmless. A fun party trick, even. I assure you, it’s not.

How do I know? Well, let’s just say that I’ve had a lot of experience with this sort of thing, and nine times out of ten, it turns into an all-consuming disaster. Being plagued by needy ghosts twenty-four/seven is one thing; being harassed by a horde of curious—or worse, grieving—flesh-and-blood people is an entirely different circus. I mean really, who wants to hold an impromptu séance in the middle of the cereal aisle? Not me, and the manager of the grocery store probably isn’t too crazy about the idea, either.

So, that’s it. If you’re a ghost whisperer, just keep your mouth shut and act normal. Ghosts? What ghosts?

Now, if only I would start listening to my own advice…

***The Ghost Hunter Next Door is the first book in the Beechwood Harbor Ghost Mysteries series. Perfect for fans of Angie Fox and Kristen Painter.***

    Im starting to think houses in beechwood should never be updated! Scarlet gets charged by an angry ghost and tries to help the ghost before she hurts someone. The ghost believes her fiance killed her but the more Scarlet looks into it the less she thinks so. Throw in a hunky cop and an even hunkier security guy and youve got fun on your hands!!

    I like that the author always starts a series with a possible love triangle but quickly identifies which person the mc will pick. Makes her MCs much more likeable for their decision making skills.

    A delightful story about a ghost whisperer, a snarky ghost cat, an angry ghost who needs help, charming characters, and witty dialogue. Loved it!
    But, Scarlet eats entirely too much sugary stuff…..she needs to eat REAL food at least once in awhile.
    Can’t wait to jump into the next one.
    The perfect book to curl up in a comfy chair in front of the fireplace with a cup of tea and enjoy.

    This book is a fun read that had me smiling throughout. Scarlett is a ghost whisperer with two quibbling ghosts and a third, who is a non-relenting romantic, living with her. Then a really powerful ghost, Rosie, stomps in and starts causing mayhem. Follow Scarlett through the craziness and her wacky introduction to Lucas, as she tries to help Rosie. This is a totally enjoyable book.

    I have read and enjoyed all the Beechwood Harbor books that Danielle Garrett has written. I was delighted to find this new book~sort of a spin-off~about a ghost whisperer in the same town. A slight cross over of characters made it all seem very real to me!

    The main character in this book is Scarlet and she owns a flower shop. Unfortunately she sees ghosts all the time, and they have infiltrated into her life, not always peacefully. When a TV production company buys a property to renovate and turn into a bed and breakfast, they get a little more than expected in the form of one very p.o'd ghost. This ghost (Rosie) claims her fiance murdered her weeks before the wedding when she found him and her maid of honor, Wendy, at home in the bedroom during the day. For twenty years she has scared everyone away from the property. For twenty years she has been angry and plotted revenge. When Rosie learns of Scarlet's abilities, she forces herself on Scarlet and issues ultimatums. Worried about the crew's safety, Scarlet tries to solve the twenty year old mystery of Rosie's death. Of course there is a handsome guy who actually believes in Scarlet's abilities to help out as she tries everything possible to keep her promise.

    This fast moving, well written book was entertaining up to the very end. I didn't expect what happened. I had a hard time putting the book down while reading, it was so captivating and enjoyable. I recommend it for a good and different paranormal mystery.

    A wonderful bunch of characters in this story, both the live ones and the ghosts. This is an interesting mix of romance, ghosts and mystery. The book is well-written, the characters are engaging and while the ghosts are not scary they are fun. I especially liked the cat. I am looking forward to reading more from this series.

    5.0 out of 5 stars original plot in a saturated niche
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 25, 2024
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    I’m really impressed with this series, the author has managed to find original and real characters in what is a pretty saturated and same-ey niche paranormal genre.
    So far I’m on book 5 but thought it better to review on the first instalment.
    I really like the main characters Scarlet and Lucas, and the key ghosts who share their lives. Scarlet’s developing powers are revealed at a realistic rate and she goes through a significant learning curve. Also her and Lucas are not the usual sappy codependents and their relationship rings true. Read this series! I doubt you’ll be disappointed
