Publisher's Summary

Fiona Corrigan is in love...but she has some difficulty discerning between the realities of the stage and her real life, especially when it comes to her handsome costar, Patrick Berenger. He wins her heart nightly onstage but seems hesitant to go any further. 

Patrick is a man running from his past and is hell-bent on never confronting it, until one night when it catches up with him, summoning him and his acting troupe to the far reaches of Scotland. Fiona looks forward to the trip and to finally having time alone with Patrick. She never anticipated the appearance of his estranged brother Sean, or the manipulations of the eccentric Lord Thornbury, and the frightful apparition of a woman who haunts the stage each time the ghost light goes dark with her dire warning that death is waiting in the wings.   

Set in 1920s Scotland, Ghost Light is equal parts tingling romance and chilling ghost story.

Spooky, romantic, and intriguing!

So, I read this book on kindle when it first came out and was absolutely PUMPED when the audiobook came out. I love this story and all the humor, romance, and suspense. The characters all have a wonderful back story and it takes twists and turns you don’t expect.

Adam Barr does such a wonderful job with all the accents and voices. You can almost see it playing out in your mind like a play. This is a must listen to.

Great story! Great reader!

What a fun period piece. The wife and had the opportunity to enjoy Ghost Light while on a road trip to Tahoe and back. I won't spoil what happens. I'll just say you know its a great audiobook when you've been in the car all day and when you finally get to your destination, you continue sitting in the car for another ten minutes until the chapter ends. Love the reader!

Brilliant!

Wow! Brilliant story, fabulous narration!
The plots - yes, more than one - the heroes, the heroine, the villains, the voices and accents - all just as near to perfect as could possible be in one story, so I am more than happy to recommend this audiobook or book, if you prefer.
I voluntarily listened to a copy of the audiobook supplied by the author and the above is my unbiased review.

Entertaining Romance

I received this book for free. I am voluntarily posting this review and all opinions expressed herein are my own.

I am between 3 and 4 stars on this book. There is a lot of things that I absolutely enjoyed with this book - it has a great premise; there is a lot of good humor and dialogue; the locale; and several of the characters. Some of what brought the story down for me - it was too long because it got bogged down in a lot of description and inner monologues - which were unnecessary. I felt that at times MC Fiona was very immature - especially when it came to sorting out her relationships.

A great positive here was the narrator, Adam Barr. He did a myriad of accents - Irish, British, Scottish, American - for the various characters. He did a very nice job with pacing and made the story more interesting to me.

Delightful story of romance and mystery!

I loved the imagery that this story conjured up in my mind. A beautiful old castle in the highlands of Scotland, in a remote spooky village, in the dead of winter with a traveling troupe of actors. It doesn’t get better than this. The characters are charming and the story is entertaining. I found myself wanting to find this village and spend a winter there myself. The reader brought the whole scene to life. All in all, a great read!

Twists, Turns, Ghosts, and Love

Lovely book. Narration really added to the story! Can't wait to hear book 2.

Speechless!!

What an incredible story! I was so entranced by these characters and the setting of this story. I never wanted it to end! The narration was very well done as well. I thoroughly enjoyed every second of this book.

Intriguing read

First of all the narrator deserves some series props for all his voices, accents and ages. He did every character with gusto whether they were man or woman, old or young and hit all his accents well!

I liked the book. This actually surprises me. I’m not much for period writing and books that quote literature a lot but I enjoyed this. The play on real life and the stage kept you on your toes, adding in the murder mystery plot, ghost and a love triangle (maybe a square lol) and there’s alot going on. It’s a long book but amazingly done. Really the only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is I didn’t get the feels and anyone that knows me knows that how to get all the stars. It’s funny, it’s spooky and it’s very different. It’s kind of like clue meets, murder mystery meets ghost story meets the stage. I could see this being a super fun movie or tv series though and I would totally be on board to watch.

Well written and entertaining

This was a great story for a road trip. The characters were interesting and it captured the period well.

Mysterious

Group of play actors in a mysterious theater. The unusual way they are together there is the mystery of the story. Full of intrigue, mystery and love.
