Critics Review
Praise for The Ghost and Mrs. McClure
“A deliciously charming mystery with a haunting twist!”—New York Times bestselling author Laura Childs
“Quindicott’s enigmatic townspeople come alive in this quirky mystery and readers will eagerly anticipate future installments—and the continuing easy banter and romantic tension between Jack and Penelope.”—RT Book Reviews
“Ms. Kimberly has penned a unique premise and cast of characters to hook us on her first of a series.”—Rendezvous
“A charming, funny and quirky mystery starring a suppressed widow and a stimulating ghost who is attracted to her even though they can only meet in her dreams. He is hard boiled in the tradition of Phillip Marlowe and she is a genteel Miss Marple; yet the two opposites make an explosive combination. Alice Kimberly definitely has a hit series if the first book is anything to go by.”—Midwest Book Review
“What a delightful new mystery series! I was hooked from the start….I adored the ghost of Jack….Pairing him with the disbelieving Penelope is a brilliant touch.”—Roundtable Reviews
