This was just what I needed to read - a fun, fast-reading romance with captivating banter and characters who were caring people who did kind things (despite what they believed about each other at the beginning). I loved that Liesel, the main female character was intelligent and Cooper respected it - thought it didn't stop him from being attracted to her or ribbing her. And the oversized dad and goofy brothers were great additions to the story.

'I love, love, love Mhairi . . . I read this with delight…
I almost didn't read this book because of the subtitle (A paranormal, midlife rom-com that will make you laugh out loud!). But I'm glad I did, because it was refreshing, different and made me smile. I liked the main character's inner dialogue and her interactions with her nephew. And the paranormal mystery was fun, not scary. If you like a mix of ghosts and romance that is light and fun to read, you'll like this book.
