A Wild Ghost Chase

By: E.J. Copperman

Narrated by: James Patrick Cronin

Phantom PI Paul Harrison from the national best-selling Haunted Guesthouse mysteries returns with a tale of his own in a house full of ghosts, secrets, and spectacular oceanside views.…

Three years ago in a large Victorian house on the Jersey Shore in the town of Harbor Haven, fledgling private investigator Paul and his client, Maxie Malone, were murdered. Since then, recent divorcée and reluctant ghost whisperer Alison Kerby and her 10-year-old daughter, Melissa, have moved in and converted the place to a guesthouse, where Maxie and Paul are now checked in for an eternity and ready to solve any case that comes their way - or at least spook the guests (who love it). Alison’s got a lot on her plate at the moment, however, so when Paul discovers the 300-year-old ghost of a small boy in the house, he decides not to involve her in the case. The boy, named Eagle of the Sun, says he’s searching for his missing mother. Paul’s happy to help Eagle of the Sun find her, though something about the boy’s story doesn’t add up. But why would a lost little ghost lie?

Includes a preview of the next Haunted Guesthouse Mystery, Chance of a Ghost, available February 2013.

BOO

THIS STORY WAS WAY TOO SHORT! BUT, I DID LIKE THAT IT PERTAINED TO AN AUTISTIC CHILD WITH UNDERSTANDING

Redo with new narrator

The story was a good one but the narrator ruined it the only reason I was able to finish it was because I knew it was a short story and that the underlying story would be good.

For an "in between" story, it isn't bad, but...

This is a story focusing on Paul, Melissa and Maxie taking on a PI case for another ghost. The story makes sense if you know what the series is about already. If you haven't heard one of the first couple of stories, I'd recommend going back to those. If this is included in your membership, it isn't a total waste of time, but I wouldn't pay for it.

I appreciate why the narrator changed for this story (as it's from Paul's perspective), but his voices for some characters are just awful (Maxie, Melissa and Grandma... ugh).

Narration awful

I have enjoyed listening to this series, but absolutely could not finish this one. The narrator is AWFUL at the women's voices. I couldn't stop cringing.

Ok story but boring narrator

The story was fine and in keeping with the previous ones. And I do agree that having a male narrate this one makes sense. But this guy is so stiff that he might as well be reading a text book to a classroom. His attempts at female voices are just plain pitiful.

Very glad he isn't listed as the narrator on any more in the series.

Review a wild ghost chase

Did not enjoy narrator. Story not caliber past novels. Repeat too much of past novels

Another fun “story” from a wonderful author

Now why did I put story in “” quotes?
Because when you are writing a ghost story, you, the author, can decide what to write. I read some of the comments about racism and I was like WHAT? HUH? My grandfather was part Sioux Indian, my parents went to and graduated with honors from Stanford University, when it was the Stanford Indians, and were furious when the name was changed. It was ridiculous of Stanford. In any event, this story was not a history book and obviously not intended to be. It’s just fun. I read to escape. I hear enough crap in the news every day hence why I turn to books that are not part of reality. A refreshing change.
Thank you E J Copperman.

He just can’t do the voices

I love this series I love the characters and the narrator of this book seems to do the exact voice I pictured of Paul but definitely not the other characters. He tries but he can’t hold a candle to Amanda Ronconi. She brings the characters to life in a way few can. The story is good I think not sure why so many scathing reviews. I think people are focusing too much on the poor narrator. Can’t wait to hear the next book!

Good quick story

I liked the storyline and I am a big fan of the series. This was a new narrator from the main series and I was a little disappointed. He didn't sound Canadian or British which is Paul's character. Also the grandmother who is in her 50s was made to sound closer to 90 which was a bummer. But still worth listening to and great if you haven't listened to the other books so you have no idea what the characters should sound like.

Not your typical Cooperman

Cooperman wrote an entertaining story. The narrator not so much ... reading was stilted & unnatural.
