A fabulous Regency romp, full of suspense and intrigue! Perfect for fans of Georgette Heyer, Mary Balogh, Jane Aiken Hodge and Jane Austen.

Can Phoebe and Duncan bring peace to a tortured soul…?

Regency England

Having never been in love, twenty-four-year-old Phoebe Marcham has no interest in marriage. Fiercely independent, she spends her days helping to manage Glendale, her ancestral home — a centuries-old estate full of long-buried secrets.

While out riding, Phoebe crosses paths with Duncan Armstrong, a charming wanderer who has just returned from the Continent. Finding that they share a penchant for mystery, Phoebe shares the biggest enigma that haunts Glendale: the tortured ghost of her ancestor, Simon Marcham, who took a secret sadness to his grave.

Convinced that Simon’s soul will never be at rest until they uncover his secret, Phoebe and Duncan set about unravelling the riddles that he left behind. As they delve deeper, a story of heartbreak and intrigue soon starts to emerge.

Faced with the darkness of the past, Phoebe is determined to make the most of the future. And as she and Duncan grow closer, she soon begins to wonder whether she has at last met her fate…

THE GHOST OF GLENDALE is a historical romantic tale set in Regency England, with a fearless heroine and an absorbing mystery at its heart.

A quick read

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 27, 2021

This is a pretty good quick read. The first half was a bit slow, and the second half a bit rushed. It was a short book to have so many characters, and they weren't all fully developed. For example, the villain of the piece was introduced and dealt with in just a chapter or two toward the end.

Historical Romance With a Dab of the Paranormal

4 Ghostly Stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟

This was a lovely historical romance with just the perfect touch of paranormal.... so even if you are somebody who does not enjoy the paranormal I think you will still enjoy this book... additionally for such a short book it sure did pack a big punch... a lot went on in this book... this book really did have a little bit of everything the romance between Phoebe and Duncan... their relationship was so real and developed at such a wonderful pace, you really could feel the attraction between these two.... and then we have the ghost, is there really a ghost? And if so why is he still haunting Glendale? And that leads us to the mystery and the tragic and lovely story of Simon and Agnes.... A little taste of Romeo and Juliet...

When I first started this book I had forgot it was historical... but from the very first dialogue I knew it was, the author did a tremendous job of setting the time period... The only small issue I had with this book was it was difficult to connect with the characters... although that is consistently a problem with a book of this length... especially when it is as heavy on plot as this book was.....

Recommend for those afternoons when you have time to curl up with a book and read it cover to cover...

*** thank you to the author and Rachel at Rachel’s Random Resources for my copy of this book ***

Loved this Historical Romance/Ghost Story!!!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 27, 2018

The Ghost of Glendale by Natalie Kleinman is a great combination of historical romance with a bit of a ghost story!

Phoebe Marcham is twenty-four-years-old, and she has resigned herself to becoming a spinster. She is a woman ahead of her time, and she refuses to marry for anything less than love. Her parents were deeply in love, and she wants that kind of marriage, not one made as an alliance between families. Who knew fate was just about to intervene and completely upend Phoebe!!!

Scotsman, Duncan, is visiting with his friend Rupert, who happens to be Phoebe’s old friend and neighbor. One day he is out riding his horse when he becomes lost. Fortunately, he happens upon a beautiful, Phoebe. She intrigues him as much she he does her. When they realize they are both friends with Rupert, they begin spending more time together, usually riding together every morning. Before long, Phoebe has convinced him to help entertain her visiting aunt whom Phoebe nor her father seem too fond of. When Phoebe tells Duncan about the family ghost, Simon, and the mystery surrounding him, Duncan is determined to help her solve the mystery and give Simon the peace he deserves.

I am a huge fan of historical romances and ghost stories, so this book was right up my alley. I rather liked the fact that the book was written in a way that reminded me of Jane Austen as she is one of my very favorite authors of all time. It made the book more authentic. However, I also loved that Phoebe could have been a woman in modern literature. She was smart, intelligent, witty, beautiful, and really fearless. She refused to allow a man to dictate her future. That made Duncan the perfect man for her. Instead of being threatened by Phoebe, he respected and loved her for it. I can only imagine the journeys this couple will take in their future!

One unique aspect of the book was that it was told in several different POVs. Almost every character had their own voice. Sometimes that is a bad thing, but in this instance, it added depth to each character. Even Simon and his love, Agnes, were able to tell their story through old letters and with Simon’s guidance.

Not only was this a romance, but it was also about forgiveness, seeing past what you thought was true about someone, and reconciliation of family and friendships. If you love historical romance and ghost stories, I highly recommend reading this one!!!

A perfect escape read

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 13, 2018

This book captured me from the first page. I enjoy this time period and Phoebe Marcham is my favorite type of strong, intelligent heroine. She can hold her tongue when necessary but still she takes no guff. The mystery has a Romeo and Juliet quality, but has kept many people guessing for generations. I loved the author's descriptions and have dreams of building my own maze to get lost in. A romantic tale with requisite obstacles, one of them being Aunt Sophia, whose character I also adored.

This was a perfect escape read to be enjoyed in a favorite spot.

I bought this because someone suggested it was like a Heyer. Bah! This reads like a school project. A waste of my money. I would recommend it for a young girl who likes easy readers.

A gentle and rather lovely Regency read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on September 12, 2022

Verified Purchase

I always turn to a Natalie Kleinman book when I fancy a Regency comfort read, or trying to get into the mood for writing in the era myself. She is a mistress of the Regency romance in the spirit of Georgette Heyer and knows her genre inside out.

Talking of spirits, this book has one, with its own sad story to tell. It added an interesting extra dimension to the story, and to how Phoebe and Dunca’s own love story developed. A gentle read, with happy endings for all.

A Regency Romp

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on April 27, 2018

Verified Purchase

I have to admit, Regency romance novels are not a genre that I read. I have heard other people raving about Georgette Heyer and others of that ilk but have never been drawn to Regency as a genre. However, something about this book piqued my curiosity when I was offered the chance to read it and, now I have, I am wondering why it has taken me so long to discover it.

This is a rip-roaring tale of family feuds, restless spirits, rugged Scotsman and feisty heroines, wrapped up in the restrained and genteel conventions of Regency England which is an interesting juxtaposition. The heroine of this book, Phoebe Marcham, is forged in the best traditions of the tempestuous renegade, baulking against the confines that society placed on women at this time, in the vein of an Elizabeth Bennett or a Jo March. Considered to be an ‘elderly sinister’, unmarried in her late twenties, she is not unduly worried by her situation until the equally unconventional Duncan Armstrong storms into her life.

At the same time, an unsettled family spirit is demanding that Phoebe explore her family history and clear his blackened name so his soul can rest and she can bring a two hundred-year-old feud to an end. Along the way there are cousins to be married off, cantankerous aunts to mollify, nefarious suitors to weed out and the social whirl of Regency England to navigate. Never a dull moment.

This book was easy to read and tremendous fun. The author has done a wonderful job of reflecting the language and mores of the time period and developing some rounded and likeable characters, as well as keeping you hooked on the mystery of the family ghost. I am sure any of you picking up this book will be as carried along by the story as I was.

Thank you, Natalie, for introducing me to a whole new genre, I look forward to reading more of your work.

Fabulous Regency atmosphere

I really enjoyed this story as I have with all this author’s Regency books. This was a little different in concept, but just as good.
Natalie Kleinman always writes well and manages to capture the essence of the era so accurately.
Definitely worth 5 stars and I believe there’s another one to look forward to, soon.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on December 15, 2018

This is a well deserved four-star story. I warmed to Phoebe as I'm fond of independent heroines who are on the feisty side. I would have liked to have known more about the ghost and the love between Simon and Agnes which was on the lines of Romeo and Juliet so quite intriguing. If the story was longer, perhaps double the size, I think this would be an engrossing novel.

Even so, this was a well written story and I quite liked the dialogue between the characters that seemed in keeping with the Regency era and reminded me of the novels of Jane Austen.

Not only a romantic story but the back story was very well presented and thought through.
I really appreciate Natalie's writing you can lose yourself in another era and imagine all the people and surroundings. Can't wait to start the next book.
