#BlogTour: The Pluckley Psychic Historical Society by Grahame Peace @GrahamePeace @annecater

Book Synopsis:

Meet Jasper a time-traveling super-ghost with a sense of humour; can he help to solve a 400-year-old mystery? And can he stop a coven of ancient Celtic witches from returning? In these eerie, historic, amusing paranormal stories.

The Pluckley Psychic Historical Society is based in Pluckley, Kent, the most haunted village in England. Its founding members are the noted academic, historian, and Cambridge scholar Winston Hatherton, the white witch Florence Dearden, and the celebrated medium Jocasta Bradman. They are assisted by an 18th-century super-ghost called Jasper Claxton, although none of the society members are aware that Jasper is a ghost.
This is the third book in ‘The Ghost from the Molly-House’ series, and this book describes how the Psychic Historical Society was set up and goes back to the group’s first two official cases in 1919, just after the end of the first world war. The first story, ‘The Jewellery Box’ involves a 16th-century jewellery box made from precious metals, which is found buried in a garden and reveals a 400-year-old mystery.
The second story, ‘The Book of Souls’ is set in Huddersfield, England, at a place called Jubilee Tower or Castle Hill, which was built to commemorate the diamond jubilee of Queen Victoria and is on the site of ancient bronze and iron age settlements dating back 4000 years. An old book of spells is found, and once opened, it appears to have released something ominous.
The Ghost from the Molly-House series is a collection of amusing paranormal-historical-mysteries, which will appeal to fans of antiquity, period detective novels, tales of haunted houses, and all things that go bump in the night. Although this is the third book in the series, the novel can be enjoyed as a stand-alone story in its own right.

My Review:

The Pluckley Psychic Historical Society is an intriguing, funny historical read with a wonderful main character. I don’t think I’ve read a book with a ghost as a main character and I have to say he really made the story for me. Jasper is a friendly and enthusiastic member of the society who enjoys helping solve mysteries. His enthusiasm is infectious and he often made me smile with his witty humour!

The author has clearly done his research for this book and I enjoyed finding out more about Castle Hill and it’s very interesting history. It’s always fun when real places are used in a book and I liked being able to look it up on the internet to finding out more.

The mystery was quite fast paced with lots of intrigue which helped keep me turning the pages. There is a feeling sometimes as to whether the events mentioned could happen but I felt this fitted in quite nicely with the supernatural element of the books and helped make it a fun read!

This is the third book in the Molly House series but it can easily be read as a standalone as anything you need to knock is explained. If you like intriguing historical fiction with a bit of humour then you’ll love this book.

Huge thanks to Anne Cater for inviting me onto the blog tour and for my copy of this book via Netgalley.

About The Author:

I was born in Huddersfield in England where I have lived for most of my life. 

I’ve always enjoyed writing, but I actually worked for many years in Mental Health. Since I retired writing has become my full-time occupation. My fictional book genres are humour, paranormal-historical-fantasy, mysteries, and fashion.

I’m currently working on my next book ‘The Psychic Agency’. Which is the fourth in ‘The Ghost from the Molly House’ series, and will be out next year. 

I don’t write horror as such, my books tend to revolve more around the paranormal, hauntings, history, and the mysterious with some humour, so you won’t find a lot of gore.
