Dead Man Mysteries #4
Dead Man Ohio
There's a monster under the bed! No, wait, it's too big to fit there. It's stealing Alice's car! Our intrepid crew of ghost hunters is at it again, this time in Ohio, where ghosts from the state's long-standing history roam the woods, and mythological beasts exist only in lore. Or do they?
Twila's trying to handle this situation on her own, unaware the entity that's shadowing her is a test for even her formidable abilities. It's Jack who spots the weird creature in Twila's little red car, after he arrives in Ohio to spend some time fishing with Twila's husband Jess. As soon as Jack calls them, Alice and Granny pack up what they need to help, along with Trucker and Miss Molly, and hie-tail it to Yankee land.
Twila's beautiful old farmhouse on the edge of deep Ohio woods filled with historical burial mounds is too peaceful to be dangerous. Or perhaps that's what lulls the local residents into believing their lives are as serene as those of the Amish residents with whom they co-exist. It takes the capture of a murderer and the exposure of a hidden society of clever creatures to sort this new adventure out.

About the author
T.M. Simmons
24 books18 followers Trana Mae Simmons sold her first book two years from the time she started writing. After a decade and a dozen books in the romance genre, she now writes paranormal mysteries. The first book in her DEAD MAN series, DEAD MAN TALKING, was originally a release from Five Star Mystery. In addition to her writing, she enjoys developing her strengthening psychic powers. This has led her along the path of avid ghosthunting. Simmons delights in scaring herself silly at times during other-worldly encounters and has been known to visit graveyards in both the dark and full of the moon. She sometimes takes along her husband of 40+ years, Barney, to protect her from the bumps in the night, although he's been known to spy a ghost or two and retreat rather than confront. She's extremely willing to discuss her experiences with anyone she can corner.

More than One to Pass On
While I would definitely encourage everyone to start with book 0.5 of this series, this book could stand alone. That being said I am amazed at how effortlessly the author, T. M. Simmons tied not two but three races together for this story. I hope it won't be too long a wait for the next book in this series to be available.

Stubborn ghosts
Looks like the ghost hunters have to deal with more chauvinist men, but of the ghostly variety. Jack has grown and Jess is accepting of what Twila does but not interested in being friendly with ghosts. The ghosts that the women have to deal with are either very old and therefore have a set view on a woman's role or just plain old school women have their place and it isn't with the boys. When Jess' friend Patch is murdered, Alice and Granny find themselves embroiled in not one mystery but three after leaning about Twila's ghost. Jack is visiting Jess so of course he gets involved.
Love the idea of a myth, the Native Americans, and Amish all in one story. It worked.

Cats don't (won't?) understand English.
I still don't like Jack. I don't like Jess either.
Still, the story was entertaining enough.
