3 Short, Entertaining Paranormal Mysteries

Not all the visitors to ‘Second Hand Rose’ are alive.

The Final Bet
Rose owns a shop called ‘Second Hand Rose’. Not all of the customers are alive; some are ghosts that ask Rose to help them with their unfinished business. Kate works with Rose and doesn’t know anything about the ghosts until Rose asks for her help. Kate has a young child and doesn’t want ghosts hanging around her, so she says no to Rose.

But then something happens and Kate has no choice but to help the first ghost that needs her assistance.

The Lost Baby
The owner of ‘Second Hand Rose’ has died. Before she died she asked Kate to help her with her other business: that of assisting ghosts who need help.

In this second story, a ghost is looking for her lost baby. The ghost was told that her baby had died at birth – but she just knows this isn’t true. Kate is so upset by the ghost’s plight that she agrees to help her. Kate has no idea of the tragedy that she is about to unravel.

The Last Laugh
In this third story, Kate meets a teenage boy who fell from a bridge. He’s surprised to find out that his mum has given away his most treasured possessions and thinks he did something wrong when he was alive. Kate hopes this will be a straight forward case of clearing up a misunderstanding, but an evil soul collector is after the young boy and he’s determined to stop Kate helping him.

About the author

I'm an avid fan of mystery stories. I started reading Agatha Christie novels at an early age. My favourite fiction detective is Poirot, I love his fussy ways and his attention to small details. I love the TV series, 'Murder She Wrote' and have watched every episode. I like working out who the killer is, and what the clues are.

I live near Leeds, Yorkshire, which is in the north of England. My two daughters live with me and they are understanding about my passion for mystery shows! I've now discovered 'Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries'.

I've been wanting to write my own mystery stories for years - and now I finally have.

You'll love them

I just finished Second Hand Ghosts. Couldn't put it down. Gillian really captures me. I love her ghost stories. Young adults can even read them. You're going to love it, I did.
