    The Haunting of Maddy Clare - Simone St. James

                        Debut novel

What a delicious ghost story!!!!   A little romance and mystery thrown in with the mix.

Alastair and Matthew are ghost hunters in 1922 London.  They hire Sarah,  a young girl in need of a job and travel to a small town in England to gather information and exorcise Maddy Clare.

But who is Maddy Clare???  Why does no one know her????  Where is she from????   Why did she hang herself ????   Why is she haunting the Clare property, specifically the barn???

And what happens to Alastair, Matthew and Sarah as they try to get answers to these questions and to help Maddy move on.

An enjoyable read.


        The God of the Hive  -  Laurie R. King

                             Series

And so the series continues with the conclusion of "The Language of Bees" where we met Sherlock's son Damian and his daughter .

This was an old-fashioned cloak and dagger mystery. Sherlock and Mary have been separated and even Mycroft is in some danger.  Mary is trying to protect Sherlock's granddaughter and meets some very interesting characters.  Sherlock is trying to protect is son and has some bad people after him. Mycroft has been kidnapped but we are not sure by whom or is it a hoax.

As usual, Laurie King has taken me away to hunt down bad guys and I enjoyed my time with Mary Russell and Sherlock Holmes.
So until next time,    enjoy
