The Haunting of Elmwood Manor - Pamela McCord

So excited to be invited on to the Book Blog tour for this novel, The first in the Pekin Dewlap Mystery series!


Published by: Acorn Publishing Publication date: March 1st 2019 Genres: Middle-Grade, Mystery

Synopsis:

Pekin Dewlap hasn’t seen a ghost since she was twelve. But she’d do anything to get them back. Starting a ghostbusting business with her two best friends, Amber and Scout, seems like the perfect way to accomplish her goal. Of course, playing with ghosts isn’t high on their wish list, so Pekin has to do some arm-twisting to get them on board.

Once committed, Pekin and her friends find themselves in deep, trying to solve the disappearance of fourteen-year-old Miranda Talbert. Miranda went missing in 1918, and her spirit has wandered the halls of Elmwood Manor for the last hundred years.

In the midst of finding Miranda, discovering her budding feelings for Scout, and consoling a terrified Amber, Pekin is met by an angry ghost set on thwarting her plans. Will the Ghosties be able to help Miranda, or will Pekin’s business die before she solves the mystery?


 


My Thoughts:

This is the delightful yet intense and creepy story of Pekin and her 3 friends, together they form a ghostbusting business, there is plenty of mystery and suspense with a touch of romance all which combine to make a great story that young teen readers would enjoy.


The story overall had an overall happy feel to to it even if at times it was a little creepy! enough to make me think twice about reading so late!:)


At its heart this is a story not just of the paranormal but of growing up, friendship and knowing when to ask for help.


Mini Twist Review:

I really liked this book, it was creepy at parts and i found that great and enjoyed been scared, the romance love bit was mushy but i really liked the characters and the story was really good. I love mystery books and i look forward to reading more from this author.
