The Mystery, Heartbreak, and Redemption of Reginald McColl
What a perfectly wonderful story. Expertly written and very descriptive. A magnificent find. Full of tender and heartwarming emotions centuries in the making. Follow the life, death, and resurrection of the latest resident of Culloden Moor, as he tries to solve the mystery that brought his family shame and dishonor, as an accident brings a revelation of the truth that occurred 300 years ago to light. A truly magnificent story. Highly recommended.

This is one of my favorite books in the series so far. McColl decides that the first thing he needs to do is return to his home and clear the name of his Uncle Fergus who was accused of stealing the treasures gathered up by the Jacobites to help fund the Culloden battle. My only complaint is that I found the story to be somewhat predictable asI figured out the ending about a fourth of the way through the book.

Fantastic
This is a keeper, one to read again. I loved this story. Reginald left Wickham's ranch to walk from Cullodin back to the Glen where he was raised. He had promised his parents he would return and he meant to keep his promise. Along the way, he found the love of his life and then he found he could give up his quest to right a long past wrong that hurt his family name and reputation.

How I decided the number of 🌟 stars
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. The man Reginald is now that he isn't a Ghost is so worthy of the Love 💘 he had for Lauren and she for him. The mystery and genealogy angle was well done. Drew was so worthy of his friendship and vice-versa. When did I realize it was 5 stars? When I shed tears at the truth coming out at the end. Tears always mean a great story to me.

Best book so far!
I have to say that this is my favorite story so far. To have one of the ghists of Culloden find an entire family and on his ancestral home, plus clear up a 300 yr. old mystery, clear ancestors' name and find happily ever after was a love story to beat the rest! I loved this story!

It took 270 years, but he was finally home again.
This was an extremely touching story. All Reginald wanted, after being released from death at Culloden Moor, was to find what really happened to his uncle, and the valuable things they say he stole. Finding the truth meant everything to him.

The mystery of love
I adored this book. Reginald McColl's story is well written, you forget time and I did read through the night. Mysteries abound- love's mystery solved is the best of all.

Jo Jones really gives life to McColl and rights past wrongs and gives a wonderful turn to the term "coming home". Thank you, Jo!

I loved everything about this book🏴
I too fell in love with Reginald McColl. I love all of the 79 but this story hit home in my heart. It was a full rounded love story. The man finds the love of a family, a wife and a friend. Oh I loved it.

A touching tale of love, friendship, and family!
This book is a wonderfully told tale of finding true love, loyal friends, and family with a mystery all cleverly woven together. An excellent addition to the Ghosts of Culloden Moor.

Reginald and Lauren
Sometimes all you need to be happy is home. And here Reginald thought it was just a place. Lauren thought she was just helping her aunt but didn’t know she’d fulfill her dreams. Another great read by Jo Jones. The Ghosties can’t disappoint!

Loved it!!
This line in the story sums it all up nicely. "they’d both been trying to find home, and in the process found each other.".
This was so romantic with a bit of mystery thrown in. Wonderful book.

It's a Winner!
If all the other books in this series that I have read, this was one of my favorites. Reginald was true to himself and his history. I liked all the characters in Lauren's family, and the entire story was well written.

Reggie’s story was very well done. I could imagine being in the glen and would like to visit there. The characters were likable and intelligent. Very sweet and swoon worthy.

Wonderful story
The Ghost of Culloden Moor books are addictive & entertaining. You've been warned. Each book is different yet linked by the characters bond.
