About this book

- [x]

She wasn’t home alone...

With her love life in tatters, Kate Wilson needs a fresh start, and where could be better than the old Cornish house that had belonged to her godmother?

There’s just one problem – it comes with a ghost as a sitting tenant.

Her grumpy new neighbour, the broodingly handsome Tom Carbis, is another fly in the ointment – he seems to turn up wherever Kate goes. His dog might be friendly, but he’s definitely not.

Then the discovery of a hidden diary points Kate to a romantic mystery with links to both Tom’s family and her house’s past – a mystery that might explain the reason for her spectral lodger.

The downside? Kate needs Tom’s help to solve it and has to convince him that she is not his foe.

But working with Tom to unravel long-buried secrets has unexpected consequences, and Kate discovers far more than she bargained for.

The Unquiet Spirit is a spooky, suspense-filled, enemies-to-lovers romance.

Despite feeling a little slow on the spirit side of the storyline, this book contains a nice blend of ghostly; historical intrigue; & modern romance set in the UK. )

Hampson’s confusing opening chapters begin to make sense as her story unfolds. It’s unique in mixing the science of anthropology and the world is spirits. )

What a wonderful mystery

A well written tale filled with romance, murder and a very smart dog. I love a good mystery and mix in some romance, the paranormal and a dog and you have the perfect book. )

A haunting tale

December 28, 2020

Set in the beautiful Cornwall area this story is full of suspense and mystery, a journal discovered, Win going out into the cold night for reasons unknown, a portrait that creates mayhem and much more. I love the characters, Kate and Tom who are both recovering from hurtful relationships. I love the British flavour of this story, the slow but sure unfolding plot. A wonderful read, thanks Penny Hampson )
