The Lady at the Gate

by Eva Pohler

She has come here to die.

When Lois Grover moves into the Beacon of Hope Assisted Living Center, she fears boredom will consume her, but a fellow resident soon invites her to a secret meeting of the Twilight Society. This quirky group of elderly residents, with a variety of skills, talents, and expertise, helps lost souls, tethered to the world of the living, by solving the mysteries keeping them from moving on. The center itself--a historic colonial mansion that has functioned as a hospital, a school, and a sanitarium--possesses mysteries of its own that both help and hinder the society's investigations. As Lois joins them on their latest case—a decades-old unsolved murder—she realizes that her new purpose may be more meaningful than she ever imagined.

This was a different premise for a book. I enjoyed it, but not as much as some of this author’s other stories. I was also intrigued because the main character had a essential tremors, which is something my father experienced. I will read the next in the series.

Amazing

Just when you give up on finding a book to really enjoy the app recommendations send you one that you just love reading. I loved this book and can't wait to read the series. Well written and full of stuff to keep you turning the pages to find out what happens next.

Fun read

I did enjoy Lois and the rest of the Twilight Society. They had good interaction and care for each other. The murder mystery wasn't that good, otherwise a 5 star review would have been in order.

I received an ARC of the book to read and leave an honest review.
The book is truly amazing and the flow of the story wants you to not stop reading until you get to the end of the book. Eva brings you on a wonderful story of helping a soul get justice for a wrong doing of their family. The shocking reveal as to who did what to lady at the gate's family I truly was not expecting to be the situation at all. I didn't think it was the spouse but never did I suspect who cause so much heartache for two families. I honestly can't wait for more stories from this series.

I received an arc of this book as a premium member.

Eva amazes again with another story that's impossible to put down, filled with many loveable characters and a captivating storyline. I can't wait to see what other mysteries Lois and the twilight society get to solve or what other interesting ghosts they meet!

Wonderful introduction to some real characters. Beautifully written with the perfect blend of narrative, dialog, description, action and introspection. I love that instead of the charactets going out to search for ghosts, ghosts eventually find their way to them to ask for help.
I eagerly await another book in this series.

Finally, a book about older people having fun and loving life! The paranormal aspect was surprising, but I ended up loving it. I enjoyed this book very much.
