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 "

“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.”

" 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. "

— Angela, 5/24/2012 -
" I liked the book but there was nothing particularly special about it. "
— Marty, 10/31/2011 -
" 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. "
— Arianna, 10/23/2011 -
" I really enjoyed this book the first time I read it and would have given it a four-star rating. Since that first read through, I have read it again and it didn't strike me as a four-star book, so it gets three stars. "
— Jill, 10/10/2011 -
" An early book from Kay Hooper's transition from romance to paranormal romance. A good story, a little mystery, a cute ending. "
— JoAnn, 8/8/2011 -
" My favorite Kay Hooper novel. The ghost, the cat and the sexy neighbor - what a combination. One of my first by her, and I was hooked. Very good book. "
— SJuhl4, 6/22/2011 -
" I enjoyed this - sometimes you just need to relax and read a book that is somewhat predictable but nonetheless intriquing to see how it all develops and ends. "
