Ratings and reviews

A very different sort of book than one I would normally read, but enjoyable nonetheless. Historical/Supernatural/Whodunit/Romance that took me a while to get into the prose of that era.The supernatural explanation of the plot was a bit farfetched but the general gist of the story was entertaining. A lovely little piece of fluff to read in an afternoon, I shall reserve my judgement of the whole series until after I read the second novel in the O'Hare House Mysteries.

This is one of the most delightful period novels I have read. It combines mystery, romance, intrigue and the paranormal all in one fell swoop. I look forward to reading the subsequent books as well as her others.

I don't generally read anything not set in this time period, however, I really enjoyed this book. I loved the supernatural element.
