Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Harriet is given a trip to stay in a haunted manor by her friends. She adores stories of ghosties, ghoulies & things that go bump in the night, so it's a perfect gift.
Benedict is tracking down the killer of his old friend & partner. The trail leads to a manor, supposedly haunted.
The owner, for a small fee, welcomes guests that would like to be scared & thrilled. Her entertainments, a graveyard tour and so forth, are tailored for this.
But there's more going on than the owner knows. An entertaining story set in Historical England with unusual protagonists. She's a part-owner in a bookstore & he's a Bow Street Runner. The house, the haunting & the other guests are intriguing characters.
The mystery was interesting without being skull-thumping hard (I figured it out before the protagonists did, which means that the author actually gives all the clues to the reader & the heroes). Since the ghosts, while important, aren't main characters, I'd hesitate to call this a paranormal.
The book is good enough that I'm going to look for other books by Samantha Garver.

Uncommonly tall and extraordinarily independent, Harriet Mosley regularly rushes in where other ladies fear to tread. Indulging her taste for adventure, Harriet's friends pay for her to visit a house of spirits, rumoured to be haunted by figments of its tragic past. Bow Street Runner Benedict Bradbourne is reeling from the loss of his business partner, who was murdered. Bradbourne's quest for vengeance has taken him from London's bustling streets and shadowy alleyways to a country estate whose corporeal residents may prove even stranger than the ghosts who supposedly dwell there. Intrigued by the bespectacled, mysterious Benedict, Harriet begins to feel the first flames of desire course through her blood. But in the dark hallways of the ramshackle manor, something more sinister than ghosts stalks--and will do everything in its power to keep Harriet and Benedict apart forever...
