Kindred Spirits: Royal Mile
The bestselling Kindred Spirits series continues...
Along Edinburgh’s historic Royal Mile, royalty and commoners – living and dead – mingle amongst the museums, cafés and former royal residences. From Castle Hill to Abbey Strand, there is far more going on than meets the eye, as ghosts of every era and background make their home along the Mile.
Returning to the city for her annual visit, Mary, Queen of Scots, is troubled by the lacklustre attitude of her father, King James V of Scotland, and decides to do something about it, with the aid of her spiritual companions. More troubling, though, is the arrival of a constant thorn in her her second husband, Lord Darnley.
Can Mary resolve both her own issues and those of her small, ghostly court?
"If you've read the first book in this series, this one will certainly not disappoint - within the few few pages it will once again wrap you up in its world like a cosy blanket. Jen has a style of writing that makes the reader feel relaxed and content, and I'm very much looking forward to getting to know a whole new cast of historical characters, even though they are all long deceased!"
"I loved this book. Read it in two days! I adored the concept of ghosts over the centuries all mingling together along the most famous road in Edinburgh. The author has come up with a brilliantly unique concept. A very enjoyable read."
"Join Mary, Queen of Scots and the other ghosts of Edinburgh Castle as they Enjoy all the celebrations and festivals that the wonderful city of Edinburgh holds, I have the first book in the series and love it and this is just as good and make me smile just as much, another brilliant read I can't wait for the next one."
