Book Blurb:
At twenty-four years old, Phoebe Marcham is resigned to spinsterhood, unwilling to settle for anything less than the deep love her parents had shared. That is, until adventurer Duncan Armstrong rides into her home wood, larger than life and with laughter in his eyes and more charm in his little finger than anyone she’s ever met.
Far from ridiculing her family ghost, Duncan resolves to help solve the mystery which has left Simon Marcham a spirit in torment for two hundred years.
My Review:
The Ghost of Glendale is a great historical romance with a little bit of a ghost story thrown in. I wasn’t initially sure if the two would go together but they do very well.
My favourite character was Grace. I loved her strength and determination to do what she wanted to do. Her love for her father was very touching, especially in a time when a daughter wasn’t considered much of an asset compared to a son. The parts showing this relationship were lovely to read about and I enjoyed the easy conversations between them.
The ghost story is quite a plausible one and I liked that the author keeps us guessing about the outcome. There are lots of twists and false leads which means the pace of the book is quite fast and therefore hard to put down.
The romance between Grace and Duncan was lovely to read about and I enjoyed watching it develop. It was great to see Grace come out of herself and relax in Duncan’s company.
This is quite a short book at just over 100 pages and the pace insures it is a quick read. I will look forward to reading more from this author in the future.
Huge thanks to Rachel from Rachel’s Random reads for inviting me onto the tour and for my copy of this book.
