Paranormal Ghost Romance Is Criminal

by GG Collins Copyright 2024

Helen G. Huntley has written an engaging story taking place after the stock market crash but before WWII. Her prose will take you inside a crime syndicate and reveal a man who would be king despite inexperience. The anarchy is laced with romance and a few spooks.

Having spent most of his school years in Europe, Michael Dashiell returns home to Warrick, Rhode Island in 1935. His plans are to take over the local hospital from a long-time doctor who is ready to retire. Although he is prepared to be a doctor, he isn’t primed to become a gangster.

His homecoming is marred when his father is gunned down, mob style, before he can prepare his son for what is to come. Among his last words is the combination to the safe where Michael will find everything he needs to know. That and a cryptic promise he will continue watching over him. The future looks grim as Michael tries to deal with his new reality.  

“What’s troublin’ ya, Clarence? Ye look like you’ve seen a ghost,” Clinton taunted.

But all is not lost; there is the lovely Sylvia who is a nurse at the hospital. Unfortunately she is the daughter of his father’s sworn enemy, Dante Savino. Savino wastes no time in making Michael’s life complicated, but Michael finds he can step into the role of gangster with little trouble. He’s smarter than Savino. Savino is so old-school that he is willing to sell his daughter to the highest bidder.

That brings us to the ghosts. Remember Michael’s father pledged to continue watching over him? He keeps his promise by gliding in and out of Michael’s life giving him a push just before someone fired at him. Clinton Dashiell enjoys his new found freedom to come and go without being seen.

You’ll love these characters, but get ready for Alfred, the butler. He’s seen out a number of unpleasant guests. Although in a supporting role, he is worth his every scene. Huntley titles each of her chapters giving the reader a hint of what is to come. That’s an exciting look into the world of ‘thirties gangster life when the murder rate was the highest ever in the U.S.

Enjoy the mayhem.
