The Murder of Sleepy Hollow

Charlie Kingsley Mysteries, Book 5

By: Michele PW (Pariza Wacek)

Narrated by: Kristin James

Unfortunately for Ike Krane, his parents had a wicked sense of humor.

So, early on, he decided to embrace his challenges rather than run from them, which is how he become a ghost hunter and ended up visiting Redemption, Wisconsin.

The problem—trouble seems to follow Ike just as it did his fictional predecessor.

First, there’s the sound of a horse galloping down the neighborhood streets at night, even though there’s never a horse to be found.

Then, Ike’s on-again, off-again girlfriend Kat arrives with an urgent message for him.

But before she can deliver it, a journalist shows up, accusing Ike of murdering Abe…Kat’s former lover.

Surely, Ike can clear all of this up.

Except he’s disappeared.

And then, the journalist is found murdered.

And through it all, the sounds of endless galloping return, night after night.

Things definitely aren’t looking good for Ike, so it’s a good thing Charlie is there to get to the bottom of why a legend has seemingly come to life.

Meet Charlie. Better known as “Aunt Charlie” from the award-winning Secrets of Redemption series. She's back, making teas and solving cases in this funny, twisty, cozy mystery series set in the 1990s in Redemption, Wisconsin.

it was good.

this was a good book no matter what a previous reviewer said, tho a couple of characters were insufferable. good plot. narrator did a good job.

hard to stop listening

I have purchased 10 of Michele PWs books in the redemption series in 3 weeks.

No

This is the last book in this series. The premise of the book is interesting but PW doesn't manage to make it work. I find it hard to believe that no one saw the similarities between Irving's story and the incidents in town. Also, the killer is obvious the moment the character is introduced. Other than that the pace of the story is slow and I'm tired of Charlie. She's an idiot. Kristen James is a good narrator but she can't save this story.
