Publisher Description

Josie Douglas came to the isolated country cottage with her research, a good alibi, and a gun. She hoped that she’d have enough time to unravel the facts behind the tragedy that, years before, had shattered her life. Instead, she found herself in a house haunted by its own dark history. A series of strange coincidences, a ghostly visitor, and a mysterious brass key provide Josie with tantalizing clues to a mystery that keeps her guessing at every turn. Also keeping her guessing is Marc Westbrook, a landlord who embodies the meaning of the term drop-dead handsome. Soon, she’ll have to trust him with the secret that drove her into seclusion, a secret that has already cost the life of one man she loved.

"This was a short but enjoyable read. This was about a ghost trying to get his story out and help ease the guilt of those he loved. It was a story of the the girl who is haunted by the ghost to resolve this and also find love. WOrth a read "

Quotes

  • “Traci Svendsgaard does a wonderful job narrating this tale of a gentle haunting, a decades-old mystery, a new love, and an oddly intelligent cat. The Haunting of Josie is lightweight reading, ideal for the beach or a cozy couch on a winter’s night. At five hours, it’s a breezy escape into a romantic, haunted house, where the spirit is the character that needs help. Svendsgaard’s gentle delivery highlights the simple beauty of the story. She even does a pretty good imitation of a ‘talking’ cat.”

    " I hate romance novels, so I was skeptical about this one. It was worth the read. Yes, it was a love story, but Hooper intertwined the paranormal into it enough to keep me reading. It was worth the time to read. Enjoyable! :) "

    " Not scary at all. Not even creepy. The plot was boring and predictable. And the characters were shallow. But, I did enjoy the cat. The first page hooked me. It was a quick read. "

    " It was a cute book and I couldn't put it down. (Though that's hardly uncommon for me) However, it lacked a suspenseful plot. I do like Kay Hooper's inclusion of 'human' cats. Golden Threads also included a cat...and both made me smile. "
