A Review of Haunting Jordan by P.J. Alderman

-


If you're looking to set the tone for Halloween season, Haunting Jordan by P.J. Alderman is a good place to start http://www.amazon.com/Haunting-Jordan-Port-Chatham-Mystery-ebook/dp/B002PXFYO2/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1443391250&sr=11&keywords=haunting+jordan+by+p.j.+alderman

Haunting Jordan has all the juicy elements for a intriguing Halloween read: a couple of unsolved murder mysteries, a spooky Victorian house, and several ghosts looking for closure. The story is part of the Port Chatham Mystery Series which takes place in the Pacific Northwest

Besides all the spooky elements, Haunting Jordan is a really good “who done it.” The story is about a modern day woman named Jordan Marsh who moves to the town of Port Chatham to escape the pressure of being accused in the murder of her husband. Hoping to distract herself from the case, Jordan tries to focus her attention on restoring an old Victorian house. As luck would have it, Jordan is visited by two ghosts who live in the house, seeking to know the truth about a murder that happened in 1890. I normally can guess who the guilty party is, but not so in this case. I was pleasantly and genuinely surprised by the outcome of this mystery.

Thanks to the intricate plot speckled with humorous dialog, I gave Haunting Jordan four out of five stars on my Goodreads Page:


Alderman has a second novel also set in Port Chatham called Ghost Ship. Once again, Jordan Marsh finds herself with a murder mystery to solve. I couldn't resist ordering this book to continue on with my Halloween reading

AudiobookFans.com Gives Yikes! 4.5 Stars      Two bloggers from Indiana are the fist to review Yikes! Another Quirky Audio Book. Maggie and John, siblings who administer the AudiobookFans.com website, have reviewed more than 200 audiobooks. Although Maggie and John are related, their preferences differ when it comes to genre. This is good news for audio book publishers who are looking to get their work reviewed because if one of them isn't interested, chances are the other one is!      John began his journey into the world of audio books to keep him company during his business travels. Maggie caught the bug in the gym when she made the happy discovery that a good story can do a lot to perk up a ho-hum workout.      Although the emphasis on the AudiobookFans website is on audio books, Maggie says the best thing about the blog is corresponding with readers.      “ Talking to our readers and making ne...

I don't know much about Search Engine Optimization, but marketing gurus insist it is the pathway to a successful website.
