What Reader's are Saying

A Ghost Of A Chance

I love reading about the character of Audrey.
And this is another wonderful book in this series. Loved reading and highly recommend reading this wonderful series of books...

Becky Brown

Wild Ghost Chase

Another amazing book. All of your favorite characters are back to solve another ghostly murder mystery with a side of blackmail thrown in. And spa day with Bandit is the best. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute!

Angela Firuccia

Easy Come, Easy Ghost

I loved this book was funny in so many ways. Kade's family are amazing with how they've accepted Audrey and her ways. Looking forward to much more and hopefully more of Kade's family as well. Yet again, another great book.

Steph

Ghost Detective Series

This is such a fun, amazing, and must-read series! I can't wait for more!

Merry

Here Ghost Nothing

This time a guy drops dead in her front yard. I still love the Thor and Bandit antics, as well as all of Audrey's family issues. Can't wait for more mysteries!

Angela Firuccia

Easy Come Easy Ghost

I loved this book. Audrey and Kade go to meet his parents, and mayhem ensues from the minute they walk in the door. From a dead golfer who wants her murder resolved to the "slightly" illegal activities that the golfer and her friends are up to, to the wedding activities back home that her sister-in-law is trying to ram through. This is a thoroughly funny book with lots of surprises and unexpected twists and turns. I really enjoy this series and always look forward to the next one.

Dawn

Easy Come, Easy Ghost

I really enjoy this series. The author manages to bypass just about every aspect of a cozy mystery that bugs me. The pacing of the story pleases me; I do not feel as if a bunch of material is added just to "build suspense" or simply pad the narrative. Audrey and Kade are just ever so appealing. I like that there is not an abundance of inter-family angst; there is just a little bit of conflict. When I like a character as much as I like Audrey, it would upset me to see people being mean to her. Also ... Thor and Bandit and those covers!!

The Ghost is Clear

I kept thinking I know who the murderer was, but I was completely wrong. Audrey is a great character, and I just love her to death.

Penny Noble

Easy Come, Easy Ghost

Worried about leaving her beloved cat Thor and mischievous raccoon Bandit, may be more stressful for Audrey Fitzgerald than meeting her future in-laws in their new home in Chicago. When she travels with her fiancé Detective Kade Galloway to meet them, she soon realizes she has nothing to worry about since Kade’s parents are wonderful. Unfortunately, when a victim’s ghost appears to Audrey and directs her to the body, Kade and her parents are with her as she begins to communicate with the ghost. While wondering how she can keep such a secret from her future in-laws, she soon discovers that they are more than okay with Audrey seeing and communicating with ghosts, and they want to help with the investigation. This charming series is a wonderful escape from reality, and it is so easy to fall in love with Audrey, hunky Kade, and delightful Thor and Bandit. I love this series! This is my honest, voluntary review of an advanced reader copy of this book.

Wilma Casias-Schofield

Easy Come, Easy Ghost

Audrey and Kade go away to visit his parents and soon wind up with another mystery on their hands. Audrey meets her future in-laws along with solving another crime, all while trying not to spill her biggest secret to everyone.

Cindy Baldwin

Easy Come, Easy Ghost

This is another great book by Jane Hinchey. I love all of the characters in this story. Trouble follows our main character as usual, and meeting the future in laws adds to the tension. I can't wait for the next book in the series.

Jane

Easy Come Easy Ghost

I could not put this book down it’s yet another great read from Jane. I love kades parents and how they get along with Audrey and all her quirkiness lol gotta love the dramatics from Thor and Bandit as well I can’t wait for the next book in the series plz say it won’t be too long of a wait 😁

Terrena Clarke

Wild Ghost Chase

Wild Ghost Chase is so fun and hilariously entertaining. I love this series and this book might just be my favourite one yet. I highly recommend it!

Jennifer Wertz

Ghost Detective Series

I read this whole series and loved them! The characters were great!

Linda Ross

Ghost Mortem

This was a great start to a great new adventure. Audrey is very relatable. 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!

Angela Firuccia

Easy Come, Easy Ghost

Great addition to the series as we have Audrey and Kade flying off to spend time with Kade's parents, who have ended their great Australia adventure and moved into a retirement community in Chicago. Her beloved pets are being taken care of by her neighbor, Seb, and he is also working on planning the wedding. Things start off on a ghoulish note when Audrey discovers there are at least a dozen ghosts on the flight, all injured in some way, with some missing entire limbs. As if flying wasn't bad enough. Ugh. She also immediately "comes out" to her future in-laws when she mistakes a ghost for another family member and tries to shake her hand. Double ugh. But apparently, Kade's parents are more interested in finding the body than they are in why it is she can interact with ghosts. Wow, that was unexpected. Huh.

I was given an advanced copy of this book by the author. My review is voluntary.

VaWineLover

Here Ghost Nothing

Another wonderful book in this series.
Audrey is an awesome character.
I highly recommend reading any or all of her books...

Becky Brown

Ghost Mortem

This book is fun and engaging. The characters are great. Audrey is interesting and relatable. This book is full of humor and adventure. The mystery has so many twists and turns to keep you guessing.

Jennifer Wertz

The Ghost is Clear

I love Audrey! And I loved that another ghost was added to the mix... at least for a while. And Audrey's relationship with Kade is barreling ahead. Can't wait for what comes next!

Angela Firuccia

Easy Come, Easy Ghost

This book was well worth the wait. I don't know about anyone else but I find I can picture what is happening in this series as I am reading it. I can see it looks like Audrey is talking to herself when she has a conversation with a ghost. This book is a wee bit different from the rest as the animals and Ben are just fleeting glimpses, but Audrey finally meets Kade's family. I had an ARC copy of this book, and I most definitely recommend it to anybody who likes cozy mysteries.

Jessie Cairney

Give up the Ghost

I love Audrey! The characters are great. I can't wait to read more and see where these latest developments go in her PI business and personal life.

Angela Firuccia

Easy Come Easy Ghost

I loved it. This was a good cosy mystery. I love Kade and Audrey. I loved getting to meet Kade's parents. I really look forward to getting a new one of Jane's books. They are always a fun read.

Laura Cundiff

Easy Come Easy Ghost

OMG, I couldn't put it down! Love the family and how they just love Audrey. I can't wait for more.

Steph

Easy Come Easy Ghost

Airplanes, ghosts, and murder!

Reading this book felt like coming home and reuniting with friends and family. While the base of this book is murder, it was an interesting book, and it made me laugh a lot! Audrey and Kade are just perfect, and it's always fun to read their story.

Sylvie Roy

I LOVE YOUR BOOKS!!! The Ghost Detective series has almost ruined me for other ghost mysteries! They are laugh out loud mysteries. I have preordered #3

DeeDee Harrison

Easy Come, Easy Ghost

It's hard enough for Audrey to meet her future in-laws for the first time without having a ghost appear and her start talking to it. But her in-laws are great, and they go looking for the body of the ghost and then get involved in solving her murder. Audrey is her usual clumsy self, and, as usual, the ghost is very little help. Great characters, so laugh-aloud moments, and a well-plotted mystery.

Michelle C

Wild Ghost Chase

I loved all the books… just wondering when the next book in ghost detective is coming out?

Gerene

Easy Come Easy Ghost

Each book makes me fall in love with Audrey more. She’s scrappy, funny, accident-prone, addicted to coffee, and downright wonderful. She's going with Kade to Chicago to meet his parents for the first time. Of course, she sees a ghost, and the parents jump in on the mystery-solving tour. It’s a fun read, and I can’t recommend this book or the series more. If you like a humorous mystery cozy, this one is definitely for you.

Michalle Hunziker

Wild Ghost Chase

I just love Audrey because she embraces her flaws and doesn’t let that slow her down. I also love how supportive Kade is, how supportive her friends are, and her lovable sidekicks round out the wonderful characters.

Penny Noble

the Ghost Detective Mysteries Boxed Sets

I am so in love with Audrey! This is my favorite series by this author, and I hope she writes hundreds of books in the series!

Penny Noble

I really enjoyed this fun cozy mystery, and I had forgotten how much I love Audrey. Things don’t go to plan when Audrey and her fiancé Kade visit his parents in Chicago as Audrey immediately starts talking to a ghost and outs herself to Kade’s parents as being able to see ghosts. Here starts the whole family wanting in on the action of determining what happened to Joyce. Kade’s father being a retired cop and Kade being a detective means it’s right up their alley. The relationship Audrey had with the ghost Joyce was fun, and the conversations Audrey had with Joyce’s friends, with and without Joyce, were entertaining. I loved how everyone worked together to get to the bottom of it. This story has less of Audrey’s pets Thor and Bandit, but we still get some of their fun banter when they video chat. Really entertaining story.

Bec

Ghost Mortem

A really wonderful book. It is the first in a series. Has
Such awesome characters. Jane Hinchey is such an amazing

Becky Brown

Wild Ghost Chase

Another great read from Jane I absolutely love Audrey, Kade Thor, and Bandit. I couldn’t put this one down, just like all the rest, I can’t wait to see what happens in the next book. I highly recommend it if you need a good laugh.

Terrena Clarke

Loved reading this book...

Becky Brown

Easy Come, Easy Ghost

I loved this book with its mystery, humor, and a bit of romance. I loved the realistic anxiety Audrey experiences with her upcoming wedding. Her pets are quite amusing. The future in-laws were amazing and so accepting. I really enjoyed this book and the others in this series. I highly recommend this Author and her works.

Sharon

Here Ghost Nothing

This is the fifth book in this series, and it’s still going strong! I love Audrey's relationship with Galloway; he is just so accepting of her and her flaws, and he believes her about seeing ghosts.

Penny Noble

Easy Come Easy Ghost

Audrey is heading to Chicago with Kade to meet her future in-laws. Audrey is just so appealingly relatable. She is clumsy, says the wrong thing, and has a hard time standing up to her family; she is a heroine for us regular folks. These stories are so funny and really different from all the other cozy mysteries. A dead woman on the golf course and her future in-laws are helping with the investigation, what could go wrong? This was the best story yet, and I look forward to more and more of Audrey.

Jodi B

Wild Ghost Chase

Who is Gianna Tate? What and why do we learn about her? What has Audrey done that she regrets? Where was she headed? What is going on and why does Audrey go to Galloway's house? Will they get to their destination? What happens when Galloway starts to apologize to Audrey? Who are Amanda, Caroline, and Caroline? Where do we find Audrey and Caroline? Best quote early in the book, "Secrets, murder and gambling. Three of my favorite things." Who do we find at Gianna's house? Where do they all work? What does Audrey learn about straw? Oh, how Audrey loves to torture Amanda. That was so funny!!!! Why does Gallway tell Audrey no? Who are Seb, Harry, and Troy? How does Audrey know or meet each of these men? What does Galloway propose to Audrey about Seb? What does she say? What do we find out when the warrant is served? I have to admit that I did NOT see the who in "who dun it?" coming that came. What was happening with Gianna? Read and see!

Dana Burk

Give Up The Ghost

Another wonderful book by Author Jane Hinchey.
The character of Audrey is so awesome.
I am loving reading this series. Can't wait to read the next one.
I highly recommend reading this series of books...

Becky Brown

A Ghost of a Chance

Every time I read a book in the series, I just fall in love with Audrey all over again. I don’t know why exactly, but this series is one of my favorite cozy paranormal mystery series, and I do know Audrey is one of the reasons why.

Penny Noble

Ghost Detective Series

All the books in this series are absolutely amazing highly recommend them. Brilliant storytelling brilliant characters just brilliant.

Stephanie Horan

Easy Come Easy Ghost

I totally loved this book. I was so happy to get the next in the series. Thor and Bandit on the video calls are absolutely hilarious. And really, who would’ve thought of dumpster diving as premarital bonding?

Tonia Williams

Give Up the Ghost

I loved Give Up the Ghost. This book is so fun and interesting. The characters are relatable and interesting. I really enjoyed the character interactions and humorous conversations. The mystery is well-developed and has many twists to keep you guessing. Give Up the Ghost is a wonderful book.

Jennifer Wertz

Who Ghost There?

OK, first off, this is the sixth book in the series, and I have to say it’s probably the best so far even if I tend to say that every time. Audrey is her usual adorable, clumsy self and we are introduced to a new character Seb.

Penny Noble

Wild Ghost Chase

Another wonderful book in this awesome series.
Love to read what is going on with Audrey and Kade.
Jane Hinchey is an amazing Author and I highly recommend reading any or all of her awesome books...Loved reading this one.

Becky Brown

Ghost Detective Series

I loved it!

Rachel J Bell

A Ghost of a Chance

I love this series! Audrey is one of my favorite PI's in the business. This book was especially fun with the addition of a raccoon. And of course, all my favorite characters were also back!

Angela Firuccia

Who Ghost There

This time Audrey is eyeballs deep in ghosts and mayhem. And Thor is on a diet?!? Plus... there's a hunky new neighbor. I think this may be my favorite mystery so far.

Angela Firuccia

Easy Come, Easy Ghost

I love this series. Audrey and her boyfriend, Detective Kade, are fantastic...and the regulars are here with some new wacky new ladies...Audrey meets her in-laws-to-be and, of course, runs into another new ghost..really more than one....good mystery, good story, humor, and as always, a satisfying read.

Cathy Brown

Easy Come, Easy Ghost

It's nerve-wracking enough meeting the parents for the first time... throw in a ghost and some kooky senior-agers and mayhem ensues. I love this series... and the video calls with Thor, and Bandit were awesome. Thor is such a drama queen.

Angela Firuccia

Wild Ghost Chase

No spoilers from me but this is one of those books you don't want to put down and itch to tell everyone about it, I absolutely love all the books in this series.
I love Audrey, as well as Bandit and Thor, who can be so amusing. The book is so well written it's like you're there, there was a scene involving peanut butter that had me laughing out loud!
It's a fun story, with well-drawn interesting characters who make you want to meet them! I am already eager to read the next one.

Tricia Wright

Give up the Ghost

Audrey is just so funny and entertaining without being a mockery. I love the interactions between her and Galloway, or Captain Cowboy Hot Pants.

Penny Noble

A Ghost of a Chance

A Ghost of a Chance is a fantastic cozy mystery book. This book is entertaining and humorous. It is full of suspense and mystery. I love the quirky characters.

Jennifer Wertz

The Ghost is Clear

I love The Ghost is Clear! This is a fun and engaging mystery. I love the quirky characters. This book is entertaining, humorous, mysterious, and action-packed.

Jennifer Wertz

Ghost Mortem

I fell so in love with Audrey and her beau in this one! This is going to be a great series!

Penny Noble

Audrey and Kade are back, and I am so excited. Their dynamic is so loving and fun, and I am over the moon that we got to meet Kade’s parents. I was a little bummed that we didn’t get to see much of Seb, Bandit, and Thor, and we didn’t see Ben at all, but again, it was fun to meet Kade’s parents. This latest in the series is full of wild fun, and Audrey is always so capable and gets to the bottom of every murder she encounters. While this mystery isn’t overly difficult, the trip to find the perpetrator is a fun adventure with Sylvia and Dennis. I can’t wait to see what happens at the Bridal Expo in the next book.

Penny Noble

Easy Come, Easy Ghost

The clumsy PI and dashing police detective are moving ahead toward walking down the aisle. Meeting his folks- cool, except for the ghosts on the plane.

Getting outed by a ghost in their apartment- unexpected. Having the senior Galloways ready to dip into a murder investigation and having them not bat an eye over her psychic skills? Pricelessly awesome.

Bad guys, crazy actors, bad actors, and an evil acting sister-in-law trying to take over the wedding- maddening. Also, par for the course for Audrey- who is exactly as hilariously awful on a golf course as I had imagined

sweet, sad, and horrific mixed with butt-kicking women seeking justice

Molly

Easy Come, Easy Ghost

Meeting the in-laws for the first time makes anyone nervous, and Audrey was in for a surprise she hadn't seen coming. Bonus with the in-law! I found the adventures of the elderly trio very entertaining, and how they had been getting away with it is really a mystery. Poor Audrey suddenly found herself with too much on her plate with a wedding and the mystery she felt compelled to solve. Even something was worrying the groom. I love these cozy mysteries where the protagonist is not only a ghost whisperer, but she has to deal with her own flaws and her family's inquisition. The 'in the secret' group seems to grow. And I can't leave behind the cute pets that make me smile every time they appear. A story with funny situations, curious characters, many almost, almost, culprits, and a lot of clues to follow.
