Title: A Temporary Ghost
Author: Michaela Thompson
Review: The story started well and caught my
attention. At times I was engrossed in the story and at other times I was
grasping to maintain my interest. The main character, Georgia Lee Maxwell, was
hired to ghost write the story of a woman suspected of having murdered her
wealthy husband. Thru a series of investigative steps and blunders she manages
to solve that murder and another one that occurs while she is present and
obtaining the information necessary to ghost write the story.
Overall
I liked the story and would rate it 3.5 stars.
I
picked up the book from kindlebuffet.com because it sounded interesting.

Synopsis:
A GHOST-WRITING GIG IN PROVENCE--SHE'S LIVING THE DREAM! UNTIL THE
KILLING STARTS...
In
journalist Georgia Lee Maxwell's second adventure, she leaves her new home in
Paris for Provence, where she's been offered a lucrative ghost-writing job. But
her co-author, suspected murderess Vivien Howard, the widow of a wealthy New
York financier, seems strangely uninterested in writing her memoir Vivian was
widely believed to have murdered her husband but was never charged with the
crime, and now she promises to tell all.
Amid
the beauties of Provence, settled in, a charming renovated farmhouse, Georgia
Lee finds a household full of ill-feeling, not to mention suspicious characters
-- Vivien's handsome artist lover, Ross; her neurotic daughter, Blanche; and
Pedro Ruiz, a mysterious housekeeper who has accompanied them from New York.
Frustrated
by Vivien's lack of cooperation and unnerved by threatening letters, Georgia
Lee soon realizes that she has become a player in a more dangerous game than
she could have imagined. And then there's another murder.
Author
Information: I've
written seven mystery-suspense novels, set in wide-ranging locales: Hurricane
Season and Riptide explore the beaches and swamps of the Florida Panhandle,
where I grew up; Paper Phoenix features a romance between a disillusioned
divorcee and a younger crusading journalist in 70's San Francisco; a failure
analyst chases private demons to India in Fault Tree; a group of friends plays
a deadly game at the Venice Carnival in Venetian Mask; and Magic Mirror and A
Temporary Ghost recount the dangerous adventures of freelance journalist
Georgia Lee Maxwell, who moves to France with her cat and ends up solving
murders in Paris and Provence.
I've
been a mystery fan my entire life. I love the form because it's endlessly
flexible, yet the structure is always there.
I live
in New York City, but spend time in the Florida Panhandle. My books were
originally published under the name Mickey Friedman.
