Description from the publisher:
A lonely rich girl is haunted by a tormented ghost who seeks a killer.

Piper was hoping to meet her favorite author before he died, but she was a day late. The famous man's luck ran out right before Piper showed up at his house for a casual interview. Piper finds herself at the heart of the literary world's biggest scandal yet. A celebrity crime reporter hires Piper as her apprentice.

When a budding romance with a murder suspect begins to blossom, Piper finds herself in a dangerous situation.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

INTERVIEW WITH A GHOST is the first book in the Restless Spirits series.  The books in this series are stand-alones and can be read in any order.

Piper is a “poor little rich girl.”  She’s well loved, but has also had good reason to seek the assistance of a therapist.  Nope, I’m not telling you why.  You need to read/listen and learn why I love this girl and her friends, especially her little dog.  She’s not chosen a career; she’s alone in a mansion.  She has a good heart; she’s just directionless.

The fun and frustration begins when Piper is able to see the ghost of her favorite author, George Morrison, after finding his body.  Ready or not, she’s been commissioned by him to a career in solving his murder!

I liked that this was a clean read.  If I had young people still in the house, I wouldn’t be ashamed to listen to this one with them.  In fact, it would be fun to get them involved in playing who-done-it games. 

There were a lot of laugh out loud moments and the end of the mystery as well as the end of the book were very satisfying.  The whole story was entertaining, fun, and easy to read.

I would love to listen to more of this series!

Narration:  The narrator is perfect.  Marie Hoffman, besides having a wonderful name (very close to my real name) has a beautiful voice that she has obviously worked to deliver an enjoyable performance.  Her delivery was never flat or boring and added another layer to the author’s work, as it should.

Note:  while I was given this book as a gifted audiobook copy, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
