Asylum Song

by Jane McBride

Alice, Della and their cat Porkbelly have a new ghost, but this time, their ghost-assisting skills are vastly improved and they think they're totally ready. They find out pretty fast that their latest spirit is a little different from their past experiences. She's a powerful spirit of the Victorian era who was a long term resident of an insane asylum. She is not happy, and she scares the pants off of them.

This was my second Jane McBride book in two days. I need to keep better track of Jane's newest books. I love the fact that Jane's characters were using modern technology to do research on one of her character's ghost, and family. I am into genealogy, so I related to this. I liked the cat, Potbelly's role as the creature who helped the old ladies see the ghosts. Jane said she used some of her own relatives as character's in this book, which was fun and interesting. I love Jane's books and characters.

When you jump into any of Jane McBride's books you are in for a wild ride of laughter, intrigue, and memorable characters, and Asylum Song is no different! I'm always jumping at the chance to read Jane's next book, and the moment this one came into my hands, I was hooked. I love the quirky characters, Porkbelly the cat, as well as an interesting story that always leaves me wanting the next book. You enter the story with our lovely Alice, an elderly lady who happens to see ghosts who need help. The story unfolds with laughs as well as very intense parts. The poor ghost she meets is a woman who was sent away to an Asylum, and you go with Alice and Porkbelly as they unfold the mystery. I'm telling you I'm a huge fan of Jane, and I love the way she puts everything together for her readers. If you enjoy fun characters, a well written story, and loads of laughs, you have to read Jane's books.

Excellent book! I very much enjoyed all the characters in this book, some of them were hilarious, and all of them had interesting personalities. This is book 2 in this series by Jane McBride, I can't wait for the next one!
