About this listen

Ghostly whispers, shocking secrets, and a Pomeranian on the loose …

England, 1941: Evie Harris doesn’t believe in ghosts—not even when she spots a glowing figure outside her bedroom window in the quiet village of Crofter’s Green. But when the same eerie spectre is seen by Lord Hawthorne, tied to a long-buried family scandal, even Evie starts to wonder if the past is haunting Hawthorne Manor.

Before she can investigate, Lord Hawthorne is found dead at the bottom of his grand staircase. An accident? Not likely. When the glowing figure begins tormenting Lady Gwendolyn, Evie rallies the Homefront Sleuths to unravel the manor’s secrets.

As the sleuths dig deeper, the twists keep coming:

  • A furious daughter returns for the reading of the will.
  • Priceless antiques vanish from the estate.
  • And Lady Gwendolyn’s strange behavior hints at dangers far beyond ghostly hauntings.

With hidden passageways, family feuds, and wartime schemes at every turn, the sleuths must race to uncover the truth. Is the danger truly from the dead—or the living?

The Spectre of Hawthorne Manor is a delightfully cozy mystery full of ghostly intrigue, village charm, and sly surprises. Perfect for fans of Agatha Christie and T.E. Kinsey — scroll up and One-click now!

Did they say apocethary? Isn't it's apothecary?? I'm pretty sure it's mispronounced in the first book as well.

Story line is exciting, endearing, charming, compelling.

i have really enjoyed these books. I hope the author continues with the series. The twists in the plot are not predictable and keep you thinking to the end!

A great story line

Book 2 continue to be quite interesting. Evie and Harry were still the driving force behind the sleuths. I felt Blake was very much under utilised. However, there were hints of another new character’s relations to him, so perhaps he would be more action next book?

The books in this series can be listened to individually, but it would be good to listen in sequence as the stories and events are related. Evie was also given a little cliffhanger on her background. Definitely need to listen to book 3 to see if things can clear up.

Good plot, though not as good as the first

Love This Series

Somehow cozy despite being in the midst of wartime, this is a great sequel. Hopefully, there will be additional stories available as the characters that have been established are all fascinating with their own stories. Would highly recommend as a cozy mystery.

Excellent Story and Narration
