Whoever said that ghosts exist must be out of their mind.Oh, wait. That was me. I said that. If you’d told me yesterday that ghosts were real I would have smiled, nodded, and called a shrink to fix your deluded little mind. Now it’s my turn to question my sanity when the ghost of my best friend turns up in my apartment. Was it the tequila shots the night before causing this apparition? Or one too … apparition? Or one too many bumps to the head — let’s face it, clumsy is my middle name, it really wouldn’t surprise me if I’d done some irreparable damage to my grey matter over the years.
Now I have to accept that the paranormal does, in fact, exist. But sadly, my ghost friend is lacking something besides his body. His memory. He doesn’t know how he died but suspects foul play and he wants my help to find his killer. I can’t refuse, I’m a sucker for a good mystery and the chance to bring my friends killer to justice is too good to pass up.
Surprises abound as I discover a secret talent for sleuthing, not to mention an unexpected inheritance of a talking cat among other things. But the biggest problem of all? Captain Cowboy Hot Pants, or as he likes to be called, Detective Kade Galloway of the Firefly Bay PD. He’s one smokin’ cop, but my distrust of the police runs deep and despite his assurances that he’s here to help can I really trust him, or is his offer of assistance designed to keep me from discovering the truth?
I guess I’ll find out when death comes knocking on my door.
Join Audrey Fitzgerald in the Ghost Detective series, a paranormal cozy mystery featuring a cat, a ghost, and a murder to solve.

This is a great read, you will quickly identify with the main character. Spend some of your home time laughing and enjoy a bit of fun during such a trying time. I can’t wait for book 2.
Omg! Loved it couldn’t stop laughing. Can’t wait for the next one. I am volunteering reviewing an arc gifted by the author with no obligation.
Such a cute start to this mystery series. Add in cats, a ghost best friend, and mix in a hot detective and you have for an interesting story. Like Audrey I myself have my klutzy moments, luckily i can’t blame shots. The mystery into Ben’s death makes for a good adventure. Looking forward to enjoying more of this series.
This story was so much fun! A klutzy girl, Audrey, whose best friend, Ben, an ex-cop/P.I. becomes a ghost. Neither one realizes this at first. When they do all kinds of hilarity and antics break out while trying to find Ben’s Killer. The Head Police Detective, Kade Galloway, lets Audrey help investigate. She has great nicknames for some people, an interesting cat she inherits and some serious brain power she uses. Characters are great and is very nicely paced. I loved it!
Red Robin
This was such a fun, humorous and brilliant book! Audrey was such a great character. She was totally accident prone but did it with such flair you couldn’t help but like her. Her best friend Ben is murdered and with the help of the gorgeous detective, she sets out to find the killer. The story was fast paced and I enjoyed it so much. I can’t wait for the next book. I hope I don’t have to wait very long.
I received an ARC of this book and voluntarily reviewed it.
Love this book! I actually read this in one day! Audrey is a klutz who can’t seem to hold down a job. Her best friend winds up being a ghost. Can they figure out who killed her friend before they get her too? This book had all the feels for me…..friendship, mystery, sadness, laughter, and maybe a budding new relationship? I laughed, I cried, and wanted more at the end. I can’t wait to see where this series goes. I received an ARC of this book for my honest and unbiased review.
Another wonderful book by Author Jane Hinchey.
The character of Audrey is so good…
Love reading all her books. They are all wonderful with
plenty of suspense. Loved this one…
An interesting and intriguing mystery with a funny, klutz but very sharp minded woman that had me laughing at each turn and kept me awed by her smart thinking. Her best friend was murdered and with the unexpected help of a ghost, a cat and a handsome detective, she was determined to find the culprit and resolve the case. Enjoyed the descriptions and narrations that made me follow the action avidly.
This is the most entertaining and enjoyable book I’ve read all year!! Jane Hinchey has outdone herself with this book. The writing and characters were very well developed and easy to read. This is going to be an outstanding series! Cannot wait for the next book!!!! Highly recommended! Enjoy!
Ghost Mortem starts a new series in the cozy mystery paranormal genre.
Audrey is a girl that can be called a walking disaster. She looses ALL her part-time jobs. So you know what type of person she is, but even with that, she’s a character that you will love with ALL your might!
Ben (Audrey BFF) was killed and now she can see his ghost! That’s not normal! But when the ghost is still there she will have t learn how to cooperate with him. It will bring a lot of humor and fun! Add to it set cop and investigation and I’m all content with this story!
Ms. Hinchey has been one of my favorite authors for so many reasons. I couldn’t wait to start this new series. I can not remember laughing so hard. And I was only on chapter one! My fur babies thought I finally lost it. I almost fell out of bed, more than once. Walking disaster isn’t close to enough to describe Audrey. Seriously, maybe disaster times infinity. Somehow it works for her. I loved these characters. Especially Thor. With most of us being stuck at home, reading is a great escape from reality. The amount of laughs throughout this book could not have come at a better time. I could not put it down. This series is going to rock! A must read in my opinion. I hope the wait for the next one isn’t too long.
A great plot and wonderful characters make this book an hilarious page turner. I loved it! The accident prone main character, her best friend, his scene stealing cat, and the rest of the quirky characters will keep you in stitches. I highly recommend this book.
really cool and cannot wait for the next book to come o
I love the characters, Audrey is flawed she not perfect, beck she can’t hold a job down. She is so clumsy that on the day we meet her it’s probably one She will never forget!
With a passing comes a new beginning, including a job she’s not sure she’s even capable of, but she does have a little help. A tutor no one can see and a cat with a British accent (He just be a British short hair XD)
This is a good flowing cosy. The characters are great, there is plenty mystery in the cosy, lots of corners and avenues to twist around and a conclusion i was not expecting which is always good you don’t want to guess it from the outset!
Highly recommend, I’m really looking forward to the next book in the series
Epic hangover- and her bestie won’t let her live it down. Too bad returning the favor is unlikely
Her new and very unexpected skills Maj life, and death, a lot more interesting and challenging
The bumpy rides have only just begun
Buckle in for some fun reading!
Fast, fun read. The heroine is feisty, the ghost is fun and the hero to be is sexy. Great beginning to a ..hopefully..new series with a satisfying ending.
This is a delightful book. It is a great cozy mystery with some extra thrown in. Audrey is a great character, she cannot hold a job, but a new job appears to be coming her way. Her best friend shows up as a ghost. Now she must find his killer. This was such a fun read and I am looking forward to the next one in the series. I was given a complimentary copy of the book in return for my opinion.
Oh, I feel so bad for Audrey from the beginning of this book. What happens with her could happen to anyone. When she met Kade Galloway, my heart almost stopped. Thankfully, her best friend Ben was there a well and able to make introductions. When Ben and Audrey meet up with some former co-workers of Audrey, he heads off to meet up with Kade. What about? What happens the next morning was funny! And a bit sad! While my jury was out on Kade for a while in this story, he started to grow on me. What is even funnier is that he started to grow on Audrey. You’ll have to read to see what I mean and why it is funny. Thor is a hoot! There were some completely unexpected twists in this who-dun-it mystery with.a hint of a possible romance. I cannot wait until the next book comes out! This one had me falling off my recliner and crying because I was laughing so hard! Read it!!!!!!!! RECEIVED THIS BOOK AS A GIFT FOR A FAIR/HONEST REVIEW and REVIEWER FOR Bloggin’ With M. Brennan.
This was a great start to a great new adventure. It was a fun and quick read. I loved all the characters! Audrey is very relate-able. And without Ben, none of this would be possible. I laughed several times, and felt like I was in that world. I can’t wait for more and to see Audrey’s journey into becoming a PI!
A great beginning to a new cozy mystery series from Jane Hinchey.
The characters are likeable and the plot is interesting. It does keep you guessing throughout the story. There is an undercurrent of romance and mistrust so it will be interesting to read the next in the series.
