The Ghost of Marlow House

Haunting Danielle Series, Book 1

By: Bobbi Holmes, Anna J. McIntyre

Narrated by: Romy Nordlinger

When Danielle Boatman inherits Marlow House, she dreams of turning it into a seaside bed and breakfast. Since she's never visited the property, Danielle's not sure what awaits her in Oregon. She certainly doesn't expect to find one of the house's previous owners still in residence. After all, the man has been dead for almost 90 years - shouldn't he have moved on by now?

Charming Walt Marlow convinces Danielle the only way he can move on is if she solves the mystery of his death. Danielle soon discovers her real problems may come from the living - those who have their sights on Marlow House's other secrets.

THE FIRST 15 MIN OF THE BOOK

Pay very close attention to the first 15 minutes of this book (of every book in this series for that matter) - I always see myself re listening to the book, right after I finish it, there is that AH HA moment. She drops some hints along the book but you do not quite get the mystery until the very end, but its all there, it was all said. So I listen again and go *ah I see what you are doing here* I love it! I love love love this book, in this book in particular, you will get to know Danielle and some of her friends. The author does such a great job with the length and rhythm of the book. I could seriously play and do not stop it until the end, there is no boring parts or fillers, you will stay engaged to the story from the very beginning till the end.

Fun story. On to the next.

This was great, easy, mystery listening material. My only complaint: I wasn’t a huge fan of the story teller’s voice. I will still go forward with this series but I’m bummed this same voice will be telling me multiple books worth. It’s was kind of child like (teen) sounding and I thought she put inflection in weird places. Sometimes I imagined the tone of the characters being different than how she chose to read them. Oh well, I liked the story enough to continue.

Easy Listening

The narrator is horrible to listen to - too nasal and babyish.
The story itself is cute; though there could’ve been more mystery.
Don’t think I could handle more of this series.

Loved it!

This was a great read. You will definitely enjoy the mystery and the hint of romance as well.
