What's a Ghoul to Do?
3.5 Stars

M.J. Holliday has the ability to see ghosts and hires herself out as a “ghostbuster”. Her latest client, Dr. Stephen Sable, is convinced that his recently deceased grandfather was the victim of foul play and that his ghost is haunting the family lodge. When M.J. and her partner, Gilly Gillespie, arrive on the scene, it soon becomes clear that there is more than one troubled spirit in need of help and that the solution may lie with the living rather than the dead...

As this is the first book in the series, it takes time to establish the setting and the characters. Consequently, the mystery only picks up about halfway through. Although there are some good red herrings and a few exciting scenes, there is also a gigantic plot hole, no court would accept Stephen Sr.'s DNA reult without getting an independent test done and the rather convoluted resolution sort of comes out of nowhere.

The romance is also problematic as despite his sexy accent and hilarious mutilation of English idiom, M.J.’s love interest is an arrogant and obnoxious ass. That said, M.J. is a delightful heroine and the premise of the series is entertaining enough to continue with the series.

On a final note, Eileen Stevens' narration is really good. She has an excellent grasp of accents and her voice for Doc the parrot is fantastic! ( )

Book one of the Ghost Hunter Mysteries. Another mystery, but this time the mystery revolves around ghosts. M.J. Holliday is a medium turned ghostbuster, meaning she can sense energies of those who have crossed over, as well as those who are stuck (i.e., ghosties). Book one introduces us to M.J., her business parter and long-time friend Gilley Gillespie, the hotly handsome client Dr. Steven Sable, and Doc, M.J.’s African Gray parrot. The mystery surrounds Dr. Sable’s grandfather and his apparent suicide at his lodge where strange things keep happening. It’s up to M.J. and Gil to find out what happened.

Who should read: fans of paranormal/urban fantasy (I’ll post later about the problem with these genre titles). Basically, if you like ghosties and mysteries, then this series is for you.

Why I like it: For one, I love the title. Cheesy play on words always make me giggle. That and I really liked the cover art. I know, I know. Don’t just a book by its cover. But I do. So does everyone. I just don’t always let it sway me. But seriously, Laurie has a solid writing style. The characters are believable, and I like a female lead who isn’t too wishy-washy. While M.J. has her fretful “oh my what to do” kind of moments, she’s balanced with the “I know exactly what I’m doing.” I personally dislike females who are too wimpy. Overall, a fun read. ( )

A ghost hunter meets a sexy European Dr that had a family estate that's haunted by his Grandfather whom he believes was murdered not a suicide as reported. Ah, but he is not the only ghost in house.The mystery takes them to a small town with a history soon to bee discovered.
An enjoyable mystery, slight touch of romance,not sure what the "Ghoul" tittle thing has to do with the novel. There are no ghouls, play of words ? ( )
