A Ghost for Maggie

By: Emily Carmichael

Narrated by: Cristine McMurdo-Wallis

Emily Carmichael's novels are charming tales of romance and supernatural hijinks. In works like Finding Mr. Right, Carmichael creates spirited characters who are determined to capture every moment of happiness--for themselves and those they love.

Decades ago, Robin Rowe was a successful madame in the bustling town of Jerome, Arizona. Until her death, the Robin's Nest was renowned throughout the West for its beautiful girls. Now her granddaughter, Maggie Potter, has bought the old mansion and turned it into a bed and breakfast. But the feisty madame still lives there as a ghost. And when she learns that her lovely granddaughter is single, she decides to find the right man for Maggie.

As Maggie confronts her ghostly relative, she soon realizes that she has met her match. Can she resist the very handsome visitor Robin keeps putting in her path?

Cristine McMurdo-Wallis' performance captures the humor and the high spirits of this thoroughly enchanting tale.

Critic reviews

"Carmichael's latest has the irresistible warmth and charm of a newborn puppy." ( Publishers Weekly)

With Robbi, who needs an guardian angel!

Sweet enjoyable story with a ghost that is a blast! Cristine McMurdo-Wallis' voice was perfect as the saucy temptress Robin. With her whisky/bourban husky voice she was perfect as a Madame that brings to mind Miss Kitty of Gunsmoke. Maggie did bug me, but I adored Cat and the rest of the characters. I absolutely loved the possession scenes. This was a hoot!

BOO

I love that this was done from the ghost's view-point. The story was well done, and kept you going. Not sorry I bought this one. The narration was good also.

Arizona's wild west meets modern politics

What a delightful story. Residents of Arizona will enjoy not the tall tale, but recognize well known cities and attractions. What a joy to recognize small town Arizona and it's history.
Keep the fun coming, can't wait to dive into the next one.

Borrring.....ZZZZZZZZZ

Never listened to part 2 due to narrator's deadpan voice. Shame on me for not listening to clip before purchase.

Narrator has a rough voice

Distracted by the narrator who was good but had a lack of oxygen and wiezed throughout. The book was silly and not really about the ghost at all.
