About the author
Gillian Larkin
326 books112 followersI'm an avid fan of mystery stories. I started reading Agatha Christie novels at an early age. My favourite fiction detective is Poirot, I love his fussy ways and his attention to small details. I love the TV series, 'Murder She Wrote' and have watched every episode. I like working out who the killer is, and what the clues are.
I live near Leeds, Yorkshire, which is in the north of England. My two daughters live with me and they are understanding about my passion for mystery shows! I've now discovered 'Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries'.
I've been wanting to write my own mystery stories for years - and now I finally have.

Book 4 in the Pearl and Derek Mystery series was a short enjoyable read. Pearl is a ghost and Derek is alive. Together they solve mysteries for ghosts that have been killed so they can pass on.
The author gives us another well written mystery. I like that we always have numerous suspects to choose from. Get to know Pearl and you will be reading all of the books about her. She's a very entertaining ghost!

What a great tale!
Each book in this series is better than the last one. To say I love them falls short of describing how good each book is. I can't recommend them too highly.

Kindle Unlimited, some of the same characters as Storage Ghost Murders by the same writer. Read a lot of her books, so sometimes every now and then seems like maybe something of the same sort but not exactly as another book but that is bound to happen or me to think it did.
