This book got wild in the end there.

Considering I picked the first book up for free on Amazon, this series turned out to be rather entertaining. It's not the best thing out there, but it's on the higher end of indie book series I've read from Amazon.

You in for something quick to read? Give it a shot.

The O' Hare House Mysteries is a quartet of stories that is really one long story. It's a charming mix of Regency murder mystery, Egyptian curses, demons, and ghosts. In Volume I, a new widow becomes involved with a medium and uncovers a series of other-worldly murders. In Volume II, just having vanquished the foe, she discovers that the curse is still a danger. In Volume III, she has finally rid the world of the curse, only to find a more earthly danger in a powerful & wealthy family. In Volume IV, the new love of her life has been falsely accused of murder. To save him, she must battle a powerful group bent on otherworldly domination.

Positive Ending!

These four books have led me on a roller coaster of mystery, murder, growing romance, and the spirit world. Not all spirits entities are good, just as in life. To try to use the Egyptian artefacts and other mazes to break the laws of life and death with murder and blackmail thrown in was fabulous to read. The end was great and neat. Kate,
thank you for this reading treat.

Great mystery

The danger and mystery deepen as Claire and Wesley attempt to unravel the lethal threads surrounding several deaths, including Claire's first husband. With Wesley wrongly accused of murder and imprisoned, Claire had to pull out all the stops to find the truth and free him.

Buy Buy Buy Buy I say

These books had such passion. Her bravery was so fragile. I had to have them all. Fact can be stranger than fiction or make fiction a very good story. She is creatively brilliant an just a touch of romance.

End of four book wonderland

This is the last novel of four and is a wonderful conclusion to a sweet romance fraught with danger. Ghosts, mediums and a vast group bent on ... no spoilers here. I found this most enjoyable, not a taxing read. Perfect for an afternoon. 🌹

Finished the book series before the local high school performs the play of the first book. Fun series, not overly scary, with a few good twists.

A nice wrap up to the story.

[Sarah Brooks · Rating 4 out of 5]

A somewhat satisfying ending to the series. It does leave some questions unanswered. How did Peter get the money? When will Red fully understand his gift? But the bad guys were caught defeated.
