BLURB:

When an invitation to a murder mystery weekend at the Wilder Mansion is delivered, Detective Jude Byrne is all in for a few days of rest and relaxation, even though the house is rumored to be haunted by Aramis Wilder, who was viciously murdered nearly forty years ago. Jude figures with his detective training he’ll be able to solve the fictional crimes in no time.

Psychic Copeland Forbes knows better than to take things at face value. The party is being hosted by Minerva Wilder, older sister of the murdered Aramis, who does not believe the man convicted in her sister’s death is guilty. Cope thinks the invitation is a thinly disguised ruse to get a detective and medium to help solve the decades-old murder once and for all.

When one of the invitees is none other than Aramis’s convicted killer, newly released from prison, Jude wonders if he’s back to take revenge on the people who sent him to jail or to prove he was innocent all along. After a prominent guest is brutally murdered, Jude and Cope realize there is a killer with unfinished business among them.

Only one person has all the answers, the ghost of honor, Aramis Wilder. Will she reveal the name of her killer, or will Jude and Cope be next?

REVIEW:

Once again Pandora has knocked it out of the park. Ghost of Honor is the 14^th book in the Haunted Souls series. My usual disclaimer – this is not a standalone and in fact you really need to read these books in order. You also need to read the other Series Cold Case Psychic as these two series are interconnected with crossover characters. I really must gush over this book. I loved it. I mean really loved it. It was not only a page turner; but the sexy times were hot, and the plot was delicious.

Pandora has a wonderful knack for keeping her worlds fresh and new. In fact, I would compare this book to a Hercule Poirot mystery. the twists and turns in the plot obscured the real killer, until the very end of the book. Well done, Pandora- well done.

Her character development continues to do deep dives into the deep recesses of their souls. In this book we find Jude struggling with being a daddy to a girl, Wolfie made it seem easy to be a daddy. Cope struggles with his gifts. as well, when his visions of the future become deadly. The other aspect of this one that I enjoyed was Jude and Cope only having each other to rely on to solve the murder mystery. The Scooby gang does make appearances, but for the major plot, they are not able to help Jude and Cope.

If you’re a fan of Poirot mysteries or Agathe Christie mysteries, you are going to enjoy this new Jude and Cope mystery. Will Jude and Cope survive Copes visions? Will Cisco save the day? Will Lizbet forgive her daddies? The answers to these and all the other juicy details are found in this fantastic addition to the Haunted Souls series.  I highly recommend this book and can’t wait for the next installment Pandora writes for this fantastic couple.
