HOPE McINTYRE
HOW TO SEDUCE A GHOST now available in paperback from Warner Books
"A winner all the way, Lee Bartholomew is one of the most engaging protagonists to come along in ages. Both hilarious and heart wrenching, this beguiling mix of of chick lit and hip thriller - Helen Fielding meets Janet Evanovich - is the must-read of the crime fiction fall season." BOOKLIST
"Its light touch is deceptive, for there are serious issues and predicaments here yet it is both smart and hugely enjoyable." Elizabeth Buchan, author of bestseller THE REVENGE OF THE MIDDLE-AGED WOMAN.
"If you mixed Bridget Jones with Monk, you'd get Lee Bartholomew, the recluse who is afraid of being alone. This is the thinking woman's chick lit - sexy, witty, but dealing with serious issues as well."
Rhys Bowen, award winning author of the Evans Evans mysteries.
HOW TO SEDUCE A GHOST is the first in a series of mysteries featuring Lee Bartholomew - a neurotic 38 year old with a curious reluctance to settle down with her boyfriend of eight years.
Lee is a ghostwriter whose assignments have an unnerving tendency to involve her in murder investigations. She lives alone - by choice - in her parent's giant London house in Notting Hill yet every night she lies awake quaking with fear at the thought of the violent crime erupting just the other side of her front door.
Someone is setting fire to houses in the area - along with their occupants and Lee's neighbor, Children's TV prsenter Astrid McKenzie, is the first victim. And when she lands the plum job of ghosting the autobiography of American soap star Selma Walker, Lee finds herself unwittingly not only at the center of the arson/murder investigations, but also in the arms of a new and highly dangerous lover.
