Who is Killing Ghosts?,
By
This review is from: Ghostwriter (Jake O'Hara Mystery) (Paperback)
Noreen Wald answers that question in her book Ghostwriter and she answers it well. This is a great first in a series. A witty, quick read, Ghostwriter tells the story of Jake O'Hara, ghostwriter extraordinare. She lives in New York with her mother and belongs to GA (ghostwriters anonymous). All is fine until she is asked to ghost for the Queen of Murder Most Cozy and her fellow ghosts start turning up dead. Will Jake be next? Who is killing off her friends by the book? Could it be the handsome and wealthy Dennis Kim, a successful agent and a childhood enemy of Jake's? Could it be Too Tall Tom or the Mob? What about Gypsy Rose, her mother's best friend and occultist? Or the sensual therapist who seems to have a connection to everyone and anyone? With the help of her family and friends Jake teams up with the police detective assigned to the case but can she find the killer before he finds her? While this was not the most suspenseful mystery I have read it certainly was fun - mostly because of the wacky characters that Noreen Wald has so expertly drawn. I can't wait to read more of the series.

Great read!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Ghostwriter (Jake O'Hara Mystery) (Paperback)
I really enjoyed this book. One reason was because of the interplay between Jake, the amateur sleuth, and her mother with whom she lives. The book also covered an area of writing that has not been talked or written about much...the ghostwriter. It was interesting to learn about this group of writers and their feelings about their work. I couldn't help but wonder just how much was real and how much was author creation/speculation. All in all, an extremely good read.

This review is from: Ghostwriter (Jake O'Hara Mystery) (Paperback)
Ghostwriter Jake O''Hara accepts the well-paying job of writing renowned author Kate Lloyd Conner's' Suzy Q cozies. Before she can begin her new assignment, Jake learns that someone killed one of her peers Barbara Bernside. An autographed copy of The Godfather turns out to be the murder weapon. When a second ghostwriter Emmie Rogers also dies from a blow with Crime and Punishment, Jake feels somewhat responsible. Barbara confided in Jake that she was ghosting for a Mafia daughter. Jake also missed an appointment with Emmie. In both cases, the victim was murdered not long afterward.Jake decides to investigate because of feeling guilty and also because she fear that she could be next. She gathers all the Manhattan members of Ghostwriters Anonymous Association together to learn what they knew about Emmie and Barbara. As she continues to make inquires, Jake places herself in jeopardy from a killer who has plans to make it to the top even if it means commiting murder to attain that goal. The debut of the Jake O''Hara amateur sleuth tales provides readers with a humorous and entertaining novel. The who-done-its is enjoyable, but it is clearly Jake and her support cast that brings alive Manhattan shtick so that the audience has fun reading the antics of a wisecracking heroine. Noreen Wald will receive much acclaim from sub-genre fans who, after reading GHOSTWRITER, will want more novels starring Jake O''Hara. Harriet Klausner 410/99
