"Spine-Tingling Ghostly Mystery In a Welsh Castle"

Fresh Fiction Review

What A Ghoul Wants
Victoria Laurie

Reviewed by Diana Troldahl

Mystery Paranormal

M. J. Holliday and her Ghoul Getters crew are in Wales investigating ancient Kidwella Castle with a lot on the line. Gopher the producer is under incredible pressure from the network. After their most recent rather tame investigation, the team has to come up with some solid, filmed evidence or risk losing their jobs. The Grim Widow is said to be the spirit of a cruelly-treated woman who turned to murder after losing her mind. Casper, she isn't. Combined with the dangerous Duke who is said to be a harbinger of death this location may be the saving of their careers, if it doesn't kill them first.

When M. J.'s boyfriend, Heath Whitefeather is pulled into the moat by the Grim Widow and barely survives, it is only the beginning of the harrowing investigation. Soon there are deaths caused by all-too-physical means occurring; a human hand is giving the ghost an assist from this side of the grave.

Victoria Laurie brings her experience as a gifted intuitive to all her books. (She also writes the Abigail Cooper Psychic Eye mysteries.) Her long-running series have honed her skills at building tension and structuring plots with twists that surprise even the most jaded reader, making any of her books a great choice for mystery fans. Intense and shiver-making, M.J and Heath's adventures will fascinate those interested in the paranormal, while the rest of the crew provides depth and interest to the ongoing story lines that arc through all the books. WHAT A GHOUL WANTS is the seventh in Victoria Laurie's Ghost Hunters series. Book eight (title to be determined) is due out in January, 2014.

SUMMARY

M. J. Holliday has the unusual ability to talk to the dead. But when it comes to a vengeful ghost and a mysterious drowning, this time she may be in over her head….

THAT SINKING FEELING

Kidwella Castle in northern Wales is rumored to be haunted by a deadly ghost—the Grim Widow, who allegedly drowns unsuspecting guests in the castle’s moat. Not long after M. J. and her crew arrive at the castle to film their ghost-hunting cable TV show, Ghoul Getters, two new victims are added to the Widow’s grisly roster.

Fear ripples through the castle, especially when it’s discovered that the victims may have had help into their watery graves from the land of the living. The local inspector suspects father-son serial killers, but M. J. thinks that theory is all wet. To catch the true culprit she will need to dive deep into the castle’s past and bring some long buried secrets to the surface.
