Ghost in the Wind

Publisher's Summary

Murder and mystery on the Jersey Shore from the national best-selling author of Inspector Specter....

Never meet your heroes - especially when they're dead....

Guesthouse owner, single mother, and reluctant ghost whisperer Alison Kerby is about to sit down to movie night with her family and friends when she's struck speechless. Floating before her is the ghost of her musical idol, 1960s English rock star Vance McTiernan. He's in desperate need of help from Alison and her resident ghostly gumshoe, Paul Harrison.

Reports claim that four months ago, Vance's daughter died from a drug overdose. Vance, however, thinks she was murdered. While Alison agrees to help, Paul is suspicious of Vance's motives. But after the body of the alleged killer is found in the movie room, Alison and Paul must act quickly before someone else finds a stairway to heaven....

Love this series!

I've listened to all these books and they are just fun! I wish I could find more just like it. And the narrator, Amanda Ronconi, is fantastic. I actually found this series by searching for books she narrated. Can't wait for the next one! You'll love it if you try it.

Awesome listen

Where does Ghost in the Wind rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

It ranks as one of my favorites

What was one of the most memorable moments of Ghost in the Wind?

I liked when all the ghost got together with John Lennon

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

I couldn't think of one, but a series of movies would be awesome

Any additional comments?

I just love this series, and always looking forward to the next one to come out, and I love Amanda Ronconi's performance.

Fun series

I love this series. The characters are fun and this one has a scene with musicians that is unreal. To have really been a part of that scene would have been awesome.

Amanda Ronconi gives an amazing performance

Never meet your heroes. Alison meets hers, in ghost form. Lead singer/songwriter of the British band, The Jingles has come to her for help. How can she say no? Why would she even want to? Their music got her through adolescence.

Paul is decidedly not a fan. Finding out who killed Vance's daughter may see the man dead twice, at Alison's hand once it becomes clear Vance hasn't said anything truthful since she met him. She has experience with faithless swine. There's no putting a story past Alison.

But she stays on the case, even when he'd throw her off it. A woman was murdered and she deserves justice.

I missed this one when I was catching up, but it turns out it didn't matter. It's a great addition to the cozy mystery series, and I love these. Same atmosphere book to book. You know exactly what you're getting when you pick one up. Made for great road trip listening. Amanda Ronconi is amazing, as always. She's the perfect voice for this series.

Ghost in the Wind, (Book 7)

I gave this four stars because at times it became monotonous. However, it did give me food for thought. Allison meets her hero Vance McTiernan, who is very dead (naturally,) and quickly becomes disillusioned with him because he's not the person she has put on a pedestal all these years. Made me think about who is my hero and would I like to meet have him or her. I don't think so. We're all human and I don't think I'd like to be disappointed, after all, we need something to dream about...

Have to love it!

this series is getting better and better. what i like most is the humor which is prevalent throughout the book. the narrator does a wonderful job putting it across.

If you can get past the terrible English accent...

...it's a good story :)

it's a light hearted quirky series and this book is just as good as the others.

The characters are likeable.

Good story, dire accents

Would you listen to Ghost in the Wind again? Why?

I probably wouldn't listen to this one again. I'd read it, because the story is fine, but the awful attempts at English accents by the narrator made me cringe. They not only sound nothing like the accents stated in the text but several of them rove the various regions of the British Isles without settling on any of them... dreadful.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Alison - main protagonist all the way.

How could the performance have been better?

Not attempting the English accents would have been preferable to mangling them. It's a shame because, on the whole Amanda Ronconi is a very good narrator.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Nope

An Enjoyable Listen.

Enjoyed the whole story. The biggest flaw was the terrible English accent, which was one of the worst I have heard.

A refreshing new take on a much beloved saga

This series of books belongs to my comfort-reading selection, so I enjoyed the familiar characters and places and the white humour that has me chuckling often while I listen to Alison's shenanigans and life views. In this installment, the ghost element takes a new turn I found very imaginative and enjoyable. E.J. Copperman has managed to find something pleasant and new to bring into each of the books, and I loved every one of them.

'British' accent unbearable to listen to

Just started this and am not sure I can carry on!
Amanda Ronconi is usually my all time favourite Audible narrator and can do no wrong, but her approximation of an English accent is nothing short of horrific. For a British listener, imagine nails down a blackboard but worse.
It sounds like a strange mix of Irish, Scottish and some kind of odd twang I'm not even sure exists in real life. I mean, c'mon, how hard is it to do a cockney or even a posh English accent? The book itself is great as the books in this series always are, but given I'm cringing every time the English character speaks I might have go skip this one and go onto the next.

Music, murder and red herrings.

Ghostly (dead) music idols and murder in an enjoyable cozy mystery novel. The trademark wry humor and tons of red herrings, without getting too confusing, makes for a literary equivalent of Easy Listening.

OK, Ronconi's English accents are bad, but otherwise she does such a great job that I still enjoyed her narration.

The English accents are terrible !

Gentle continuation of the story of Alison Kirby and her resident ghosts. This one has some ‘English’ accents and although I usually like the narrator I wasn’t keen on these. I’ve marked the performance down for this but it hasn’t put me off the rest of the series

Sorry Amanda

I really enjoy these books - however I'm getting fed up of the constant bitchiness against the female ghost and , sorry the narrator Amanda cant do any English or Irish accents - it spoilt the story.

very good series.

Any additional comments?

I have enjoyed all the books in this series.
in this story Alison is asked by vance to find out who killed his daughter.
all these stories have been well written by e.j.cooperman and performed by Amanda ronconi.
recommend the series.
