A cosy crime murder mystery with a difference.
The premise - that certain people actually can contact those who have died - is a fun twist, adding an extra layer to the storytelling. Combine this with a German spy sending secrets to Berlin and the stage is set for twists and turns galore.
Light entertainment that definitely begs a sequel.

A Ghost Hunter’s Guide to Solving a Murder is pure paranormal fun with a clever mystery at its heart and just the right touch of spooky charm. F.H. Petford delivers a delightful mix of cozy crime, ghostly antics, and amateur sleuthing that had me smiling, guessing, and flipping pages well into the night.

The premise is irresistible—a ghost hunter gets pulled into a real murder case, with a little help (and a lot of sass) from the spirit world. The result is a warm, witty mystery that balances supernatural intrigue with grounded emotional stakes. I loved the main character’s voice: skeptical, smart, and just the right amount of snarky, especially when dealing with the dead.

Petford has a knack for worldbuilding too—every haunted location felt vivid and eerie, and the ghostly elements added flavor without overwhelming the core mystery. Best of all, the relationships—both living and spectral—had depth, heart, and humor.

If you're a fan of quirky murder mysteries with paranormal flair, A Ghost Hunter’s Guide to Solving a Murder is a total treat. Think Only Murders in the Building meets Ghosts (with a little bit of Scooby-Doo energy in the best way). I’m already hoping for a sequel.
