Silence of the Ghost

Written by Erin McCarthy

Narrated by Elizabeth Klett

Expert home stager Bailey Burke has come to terms with the fact that her friend, Ryan, is a ghost, but she thought after they solved his murder together, he would get sucked into the light. Instead he’s hanging around and interfering in her love life, and mocking her inability to drink Jameson.

When a body is found near her historic neighborhood of Ohio City, mimicking the famous Torso Murders, and she starts hearing voices, Bailey thinks she’s really lost it now. Ryan’s ghost is one thing, but a whole gaggle of undead talking to her? No thanks. But Ryan informs Bailey she’s not nuts…she is a spiritual medium. And with him as middleman between the victims and the police, they can give the dead justice and he will finally get his one-way ticket to heaven. Considering Eliot Ness allegedly went to his grave bitter that it was the one case he couldn’t solve, Bailey doesn’t see how an uptight lightweight like herself can handle the modern equivalent. But now that Ryan has scared off every man she’s tried to date, including his former partner Marner, she has Saturday nights free for murder-mystery solving.

Yet dealing with the dead is more difficult than de-cluttering a hoarder’s house. Bailey finds herself pulled in all directions… and possibly conned by a killer.

Reviews for Silence of the Ghost

[Laura · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

3.5 star
This is an entertaining, fun read. I enjoyed the mystery aspect and the way that it played out. The more time that I spend in this world, the more I really like the main character Bailey. The secondary characters added to the fabric of the story and my enjoyment. Some of the quirky secondary characters are fun to read and add just the right punch. The story is easy to read and get into.

I enjoyed the audio version of this book and the narrator.

[Dianna Smith · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

was such a fun way to catch a murderer. I would catch my breath to try to help her and laugh at the funny way sh e would talk to herself.

[Opal Brown · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Seemed to be more of a mystery book for teenagers, not adults. It did include some interesting facts and clues about the type murders that took place.
