What do a Confederate soldier who died on the field of battle, a woman who was driven from her home by the ravages of the Civil War, and a man who perished in a turn-of-the-century asylum have in common? They all contact private investigator, Walt Williams. A bizarre series of events surrounding these paranormal visits culminate in the discovery of a terrorist plot to detonate bombs at a crowded … at a crowded festival.
Once again, Lady Justice pairs Walt with forces from beyond the veil to solve mysteries hidden for decades and bring evil-doers to justice.

I am not sure I have ever read a series of 24 books and loved them all before but “Lady Justice” fits that bill for me. Robert you have done it again. I LOVED this book. I find not only am I totally entertained by the great adventures of Walt and his crazy crew but I always learn something new and get a really good laugh too. This book gives a little insight into what to place during the Civil War in Jackson County MO. This was were my Great Grandfather was from. So it really spoke to me. Robert Thornhill has a real gift and I am so glad he is sharing it with the world. I listened to this book on Audible and George Kuch who has read all of this series once again is the voice of Walt! Thanks for all the hours of enjoyment. Keep them coming.
This review is for the audio book.
I enjoyed this book and it sort of carries on from the previous book in the fact that Walt needs some help from some ghosts again. Due to a bike fall he is also talking to them himself. You don’t need to have read the previous book to enjoy this one as the authors gives a slight explanation of what when on.This is as usual a funny book with plenty going on, including a treasure hunt, stopping terrorist and vists to diners. The gang is all present and in fine form as they help Walt and each other.
After news about his last case leaked Walt Williams keeps getting phone calls about bizarre case’s and ghostly hauntings, trying to get away from it all he heads to his favourite diner. The owner is a good friend but when he gets a free pie just to talk to the owners niece he jumps at the chance. Only to find he is off on a treasure hunt while he finds some help from an unlikely source. But that isn’t the end of the ghostly goings on and he soon finds his life is on the line when a ghost gives him a clue how to stop a bomb going off.
This is book 24 in this series and George Kuch has read every single one for a reason and that reason is because he is so good.
Lady Justice and the Ghost Whisperer is my twenty-fourth enjoyable read/listen from author Robert Thornhill. Another entertaining clean read, filled with puns & one-liners. Throughout the book I found myself smiling a lot & at time laughing out loud.Each book in the series seems better than the last as Thornhill continues to up his game. Narrator George Kuch again adds greatly to the listening enjoyment with his wide variety of entertaining voices & inflections, Kuch IS Walt Williams! I’ll definitely be reading more from Thornhill! I was given an Audible copy of this book & am voluntarily reviewing it. Up next is Lady Justice and the Spy. (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 – July 24, 2018).

Excellent! Walt and friends gather to meet the first ghost at the request of a young lady who’s had a disturbing dream and that works out well, but there are other ghosts who are interconnected and there are other things involved. We are treated to some interesting history tours, a review of some awful historical facts about the effects of the Civil War on the residents of Missouri, and even a brush with terrorism. A good read interspersed with humor!
George Kuch continues to do a remarkable job of narration.
Audiobook review: Love this series. Plenty of action, multiple situations, many beloved characters, humor, mysteries, and ghosts make for an entertaining and enjoyable short story. Plenty of laughs and sit on the edge of your seat suspense. Mr. Kuch did a great job with providing unique voices for each character and appropriate tone inflections for each scene. I received a free copy of this audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
Lady Justice and the Ghost Whisperer earns 5/5 Ghostly Whispers!
It’s a “Doozy”!
I am a recent, now very eager, convert to the talent of George Kuch, the signature voice narrating the Lady Justice series penned by Robert Thornhill. His narration style is a tad more than just traditional reading and very entertaining. His deep voice changes in tone and energy to illustrate the personality and emotions of a plethora of rich characters including the very enjoyable first-person account of Walt Williams, septuagenarian retired Kansas City police officer. And as evident with Willie and a few Confederate soldiers, he offers a few accents. Ok, he isn’t as successful with some of the delicate female voices, but his effort is noteworthy. I really enjoyed the audio version of Lady Justice and the Ghost Whisperer!
Ghost Whisperer? Yes, Robert Thornhill’s story offers four intriguing tales converging due to connections from beyond the veil. Due to a news story dubbing Walt and his brother-in-law Kevin as paranormal investigators, they are approached by several “kooks,” but when a friend, bribing with free pie, asks the two to just listen to his niece Mandy’s story, they at least agree to look into her claim her great, great grandmother appeared in her dream sharing the location of a locked box. From there they explore the Civil War history of the area—Union and Confederate troops, Battle of the Little Blue River, General Order #11, lands confiscated, families ripped apart—sending me on an informative Google journey. Enlisting the talents of Christopher Wheeler of Psychic Solutions, a docent at a haunted mansion and old jail, and his team of retired cops the paranormal meet the contemporary with an engaging tale of unfinished business, saving a business, stopping terrorist business, and offering new business opportunities. All were clever and the visions were not juvenile hocus-pocus…it all fit! The realism continues as Robert Thornhill himself is inserted as a character with whom Walt is friends and whose stories detail Walt’s adventures. Previous stories were referenced without spoilers providing background for some reoccurring characters and predicaments. All in all a very enjoyable three hours and fifty-two minutes!
