Ghostly Games

Lorna Shadow #3

by K.E. O'Connor

An unsolved disappearance. Ghostly laughter. An unforgettable ectoplasmic experience.

Lorna Shadow is starting a new job and is hopeful this one will be permanent. No ghosts this time, thank you. But she isn't there for long before the ghosts arrive and reveal a tragic secret.

She fears the worst when she learns about the death of two children. Lorna can’t relax until she figures out how they died and who was involved. While slurping tea and sampling the delicious treats in the local café, she gets her sleuthing hat on.

What starts out as a simple mystery gets complicated when more ghosts appear. And they’re not happy Lorna is poking around. Are they hiding something dark from her?

She needs to solve this mystery, question the suspects, and help heal a household. A household that has a lot of spooky skeletons in the closets. And they’re happy to rattle, moan, and groan to get her attention.

If Lorna fails in her ghost hunting mission, the children’s ghosts will never rest, she could lose her job, and she’ll have to face an angry ghost with a liking for ectoplasmic explosions!

This is the third book in the Lorna Shadow series. It features cozy adventure, a ghostly mystery, and a lot of fun. Join Lorna, Flipper, her faithful ghost-sensing dog, and the ever-ditzy Helen Holiday, as they try to keep their jobs and help the ghosts find peace.

Reviews

[Paula]

Fun, cozy mystery with multiple ghosts

[Susan Eriksson]

As much as I am enjoying these books, they're simple, easy-going fun. The language is annoying, supposedly set in England, with English people, the constant use of Americanisms is grating. Brits don't spread jelly on their toast. It's Jam. They don't live in apartments. They live in flats. They don't offer anyone tea and cookies, it's biscuits etc and NO ONE talks about sororities, they just don't exist in Britain

Ghosts again?

Lorna can see ghosts. She, her friend Helen, and her boyfriend Zach try to always get jobs together. The problem is, seeing ghosts and helping them have caused them to lose a few jobs! This time, it involves children's ghosts, their employers having had twins who had died from heart defects in the house. Wonderful read, with a great storyline and characters!

[KimberlyDawn]

Ghostly Games is the third book in the Lorna Shadow Cozy Ghost Mystery series. Lorna is plagued with ghosts and once again must solve the mystery. Zach is away, and Lorna relies on Helen and Flipper for help. This was another fun and interesting book in this series. Definitely worth picking up!

[Virginia Carroll]

The third in a book set. Read two in one day. Well named as cozy mysteries. Nothing too violent, but intriguing enough that you have to go on reading to the end. I plan to get other books in this series.

[Krystyna]

The same formula - the same outcome

Another new job! Again a ghostly experience and the girls have to solve the mystery before anyone else gets hurt. Although the book is as well written as the previous books the pattern is just too obvious. Would have been nice to mix things up a little.

[Karley Jones]

Still liking the characters..hopefully learn a little more about the characters in the next book. Still just fun, chilled books that you dont have to think too much about. Just enjoy

[Sherry Priddy]

[Karin Tillotson]

How are they connected and how did they die??? He father killed her and she has been alone since then??? I enjoyed this story and recommended the book.

[Shug]

A little better than the first two in the series.

[Trudy Gleason]

Fun book - not surprised Zack had issues with Lorna and ghost Glad they got this one tied up. Not sure the parents are gone for good.

[Nannette Miller-Pieper]

Ghostly Encounter

This was outstanding. Was so glad that Lorna was able to put the ghost to rest. Zach came through like a true gentleman and has accepted the ghost with Lorna. Looking forward to the next book in this series

[Essie]

Lorna can see ghosts, but cannot hear them when they try to speak to her. She tries to help them to move onto the next place to be. In this story she sees and hears children's ghosts, but she is not sure how to help them as she has never had much to do with children. But with the help of Flipper, her dog, and her friend Helen; she manages to do the job and help the children and also their parents.
This is an enjoyable story with good strong characters.
I was given an Advanced copy of this book and am freely and voluntarily writing this review.

[jeanette harrison]
