5.0 out of 5 stars Just My Cup of Tea, June 24, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Remembrance of Murders Past: A Ghostwriter Mystery (Paperback)

The best of the Ghostwriter series to date. The reader joins intrepid New Yorker, Jake O'Hara, and her band of ghostwriting sleuths as they decamp to Washington, DC to solve a mystery that took place in the 60s at Georgetown University. While having fun trying to guess the murderer, the happy reader also gets to enjoy the company of Jake's extended family and friends--who are in fine form in this outing.

I do love a mystery and this is a great one, right from page one all the way to the exciting finish. Jake O'Hara has to find a priest's killer before he kills her mother. Jake and her ghostwriter pals face their toughest case. Gypsy Rose Liebowitz's contacts in the world beyond help, too. The story moves at a fast pace, moving from Manhattan to Jackson Heights, to Washington, DC to Southampton, Long Island, then back to NYC. Really suspenseful, this book is a roller coaster ride and a great read.

This review is from: Remembrance of Murders Past: A Ghostwriter Mystery (Paperback)

I really liked the twists and turns in book #4 of the Ghostwriter Mystery series. Waiting in the confessional booth, Jake O'Hara's mother witnessed a priest's murder! And the killer also spotted Maura O'Hara! Then Jake, her mother, her mother's fiance, Aaron, family friend and psychic, Gypsy Rose Liebowitz, and the ghostwriters fly to DC to investigate the priest's past - and the long ago murder of a girl who has been haunting Jake. I was surprised when the two murders - 34 years apart - turned out to be linked. And now both Jake and Maura were in grave danger. I stayed up till three a.m. to see how Remembrance Of Murders Past ended!
