The Haunting of Hastings House
A ghostly and gloriously witty romantic comedy. Some people just won't take death lying down …
Hattie Hastings is happily married to lifelong sweetheart Gary, until a terrible tragedy leaves her widowed and heartbroken. Struggling to cope, she is left reeling when her deceased other half returns, popping up at the most inappropriate moments.
As Hattie tries to convince others – including brother Jack, and best friend Cat – that Gary has returned, he finds himself under the care of spirit guide Clarence, and also befriends another inhabitant of the place called The Present.
Meanwhile, Hattie's mum Rachel is facing a daunting battle, and Cat's ex-husband Stewart is determined to prove he deserves a second chance.
Throw in a tentative spot of dating for Hattie and you have all the ingredients for a book that's been described as 'brilliant', 'hilarious' and 'a great feel-good read.'
'There is nothing ordinary with this book. It is a fabulous blend of fun and sadness. One minute I was smiling and the next I had to put my Kindle down as I couldn't see past the tears in my eyes.'
'Absolutely loved this! Funny down-to-earth characters, great pace and flawless flowing writing style.'
'The author has created some very strong characters that made it very easy to care what happened to them. It is difficult to write about the topics of death, loss and trust, without either being fluffy or morbid. The author did this and so much more.'
'One of the best books I've read in a long time … I'd more than recommend this book!'
