Watching the Ghosts (A Joe Plantagenet Mystery, 4)

Boothgate House has a sinister past. Once an asylum for the insane, serial killer Peter Brockmeister was sent there on his release from prison in 1978. Three years later, it closed, and Brockmeister died in mysterious circumstances. Solicitor Melanie Hawkes is investigating the suspicious events when her young daughter is kidnapped. Meanwhile, Boothgate House resident Lydia Brookes is burgled. And why is a paranormal researcher fascinated by the building’s basement? As Joe uncovers the appalling truth, he faces an evil that threatens those closest to him – and puts his own life in jeopardy.

Booklist

"Fast-paced, cleverly plotted, and full of suspense, this novel―part horror story, part police procedural, part psychological thriller― should appeal to a wide range of mystery fans"

Library Journal

“An abundance of creepy scenarios and characters make the pages fly by in this all-nighter. The book’s unsettlingly fast pace and shifting points of view make the reader as jumpy as the characters in the fourth Joe Plantagenet procedural. A perfect getaway read for anyone who loves gothic horror”

Kirkus Reviews

"Police procedural meets horror in Plantagenet’s fourth. The tricky mystery is best read in the bright light of day"
