A fun read 4.5

I won't rehash the plot as others have done so but I enjoyed Dark Whispers enough that I'll be buying her next book. It was a quick, pleasant read with a dash of mystery.

Haunted Vacation

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.
