Harper Harlow can see and talk to ghosts. She's built a business out of helping souls crossover, and even though the cases sometimes go wonky, she's good at what she does.

Jared Monroe wants to be a big city detective in a large market. Instead, he's forced to take a job in the small community of Whisper Cove until the right position opens up. He doesn't believe in ghosts, and yet he can't seem to stay away from Harper.

These two are on a collision course for each other, but danger is in the way. Can they survive long enough to give in to temptation, or will their chance at romance be cut short?

This is the first three books in the Harper Harlow mystery series. It includes Ghostly Interests, Ghostly Issues and Ghostly Deceits.

These characters just aren't that believable. They are both annoying, whiney, and too perfect all at the same time. Everyone gets along while simultaneously being catty, and no one has the sense to tell either the main protagonist (who is way too bossy) or her best friend (who is way too up in her business) that no one would think that they're over the top, and in fact everyone is jist so happy to tell them how great it all is, despite the total dysfunction in it all.

The narrator doesn't help much. I just didn't enjoy listenjng, whether because of the minor things, like pronouncing "autopsy" as "all-topsy" or the more major. The major annoyance was that she read everything as if every sentence was ended with an exclamation point. Also, half the men had horrible nasal voices (though I did appreciate her attempt to distinguish the various voices).

The story was passable (if not slightly predictable) and the love interests pretty much fawn all over each other throughout. Even someone like me, who can suspend reality for a bit, was rolling my eyes. So, be forewarned.

Slightly annoying characters

It's nice to turn off the news with all the breaking stories of disaster and trauma, and pop on this set of murder based ghost stories. This is a light hearted series, nottoo greusome, too suspenseful, or too sexual. Think Murder She Wrote, not Law& Order SVU. The narration was rather annoying and overly youthful characterization at times, but I found about 30 minutes in, that if I slowed the speed down on the player to about .85 it helped a lot! I still wouldn't be choosing this woman to narrate my late 20yr old and over characters at any speed, but the slowed speed helped me get through the voices and heat the story. I'm glad I found the box set, it seemed short, even at a slowed speed, and underdeveloped character plots so I probably would have been frustrated if I had purchased the single books. Although, because it's a series all at one time, you have to overlook the recaps in each next book. You'll understand when you listen. All in all, this was a great escape from the deeply disturbing, and I'm glad I picked this book set for my light Halloween season commute listen.

predictable but cute murder based ghost stories

I loved this series!!! I see a lot of reviews about the narrator that she was bad. But I love her!! There are a few Characters that I don’t like her doing but overall I loved the books and the narrator!!!

The characters in the series are a little cartoonish, but the relationships are sitcom worthy and taken as a light read/listen they are a nice diversion.

Angel Clark is not a great reader. Her male voices all seem to overly-projected like they are mostly yelling. Uncle Mel is a horrible voice and grating. I won't *not* get a book because she is reading, but she also won't tip getting a book because she is reading.

Decent series, weak narrator

Books 1-3. These are good light mysteries with a fun theme throughout. Like other critics, I cringed at the narration as the narrator had nasal male voices. But overall, she was consistant with her voices. As for the stories, they were fun, I laughed at the banter, and I was also trying to figure out "who done it". So, with that in mind, I rated this based on the storries. Good twists and turns.

Good fun story

Too many of the Male characters sound like a gopher on crack who inhaled a tank of helium. even the female characters too often sound screechy and annoying .

Needs a different narrator.
