The Spookiest of Spooks

A Paranormal Cozy Fantasy Mystery (Ghastly Grimoire Mysteries, Book 2)

De: Jeannie Wycherley

Narrado por: Gil Burns

An eight-year-old boy with his whole life ahead of him.

A disgraced police officer.

An artistic witch who lost her career and her freedom thanks to police corruption.

What do they all have in common?

They’re dead.

Three lives ruined. And for what? That’s what Zilla Chaplin needs to find out. It’s not that she’s particularly keen to do so. Zilla has her comfort zone—you know, books, plants, tea and biscuits—and quite frankly, murder doesn’t float her boat.

Unfortunately, the spookiest of spooks has determined that she won’t allow Zilla a moment of peace unless she tracks down the person or persons responsible for an historic ill.

The only clues Zilla has to go on are those revealed in the pages of an old grimoire, but this itself can often be a puzzle too far.

Murder, magic, mystery – all wrapped up in one paranormal cozy fantasy series from Jeannie Wycherley, the author of the Wonky Inn and Spellbound Hound series of books. The Ghastly Grimoire Mysteries have quirky characters to fall in love with as you follow them battling the ills that confront them in their enchanted world.

For maximum enjoyment, listen to them in order (preferably with a pot of tea and a packet of your favourite chocolate biscuits):

A Witch Haunting

I enjoyed this book as much as the first one in the series. I totally get Zilla Chaplin who just wants a nice cup of tea and a good book; however, when she inherited a grimoire, she was granted more than she realized. I liked the quirky characters that populated Tumble Town, and Blue has become a personal favorite. I appreciated the creative use of the grimoire, and all the surprising twists which occurred. I thought Gil Burn's narration was an absolute joy to listen to as her performance enhanced the story's entertainment. I was given a copy of the audiobook. I volunteered, without financial gain, to post this review which reflected my honest opinions regarding this audiobook.

REALLY ENJOYABLE, LOVE THIS WRITERS WITCH SERIES

REALLY ENJOYABLE, LOVE THIS WRITERS WITCH SERIES, you must try the "Wonky Inn" series and the "Spellbound Hound Magic and Mystery" series. Her characters are characters if you know what I mean, always an adventure and mystery. Easy to relate to and likeable with talking animals, which I also love! Ghosts, spirits, familiars, gnomes, wizards and the shady side of town to add spice.

The Spookiest of Spooks

The Spookiest of Spooks Book 2 of Ghastly Grimoire Mysteries by Jeannie Wycherley as always spins a unique paranormal cozy mystery with quirky, witty and loveable characters, the worldbuilding interesting and love that Zilla has so much support. I'm looking forward to book 3.

I received an ARC from StoryOrigin and I'm leaving my review freely.

Zilla’s adventures continue

Zilla liked her quiet life but has inherited a home, a grimoire and a cat. The catch is that she must solve a decades old case of death and disappearance of several young children from an orphanage. She takes her responsibilities seriously, and with some friends, she risks her life to find answers. This is a stand-alone book because enough backstory is presented, but there are story line continuing from the first and probably to subsequent books. I recommend reading them in order. I love the cross over with characters and places from Jeannie Wycherley’s other witch series. The narration is outstanding. It brings the characters and story to life.
