The Haunting of Josie

By Kay Hooper

Book Overview

Before writing such New York Times bestselling thrillers as Blood Dreams and Sleeping with Fear , Kay Hooper made her mark with novels uniquely blending romance and suspense. In this new edition of The Haunting of Josie, Hooper brings together the themes that have remained at the heart of all her work--passion, danger, and a touch of the paranormal--in this classic story of a woman haunted by the past and tempted by a man too irresistible to trust.... Josie Douglas came to the isolated country cottage with her research, a good alibi, and a gun. She hoped that she'd have enough time to unravel the facts behind the tragedy that years before shattered her life. Instead she found herself in a house haunted by its own dark history. A series of strange coincidences, a ghostly visitor, and a mysterious brass key provide Josie with tantalizing clues to a mystery that keeps her guessing at every turn. As does Marc Westbrook--a landlord who embodies the meaning of the term drop-dead gorgeous. Soon she'll have to trust him with the secret that drove her into seclusion--a secret that has already cost one man she loved his life.

BOOK

Book was in fine condition, came in a timely manner, and I enjoyed reading it.

Izmirelda

As with all of Kay Hoopers reads, I found this one to be an intriguing story, touched by a precious romance. Marc helps Josie unravel the mystery of visiting ghost, 'Luke' ... and all he represents. I am never disappointed with this author, and neither will you be.

A Shorter, older version, but good.

This is a shorter, less scary version of her later books but the romance is there. It's well written and is a good introduction to her style for those who haven't read her yet. I'm so glad that her earlier books are be republished. Think this one almost has me current. I'm still catching up with Ms. Hoopers older books - started reading her books with "The Wizard of Seattle" and have loved them all ever since.

Great Book!!!!

This is one of Kay Hooper's best books. I have read practically all of her books. She's great!

Great love story -- with the bonus of a ghost

I jumped right into this book and didn't want to put it down until I finished. Josie is a strong woman who has the appearance of someone fragile. Her past is haunted by tragedy and her present is haunted by a ghost. Marc, her temporary landlord, is a remarkably strong but gentle and compassionate soul who is able to help her find all the answers she is seeking. The "familiar" cat is an extraordinary secondary character and unquestionably keeps the story moving. I felt that the sexual scenes were really sensual and contain feelings of caring and intimacy that remained with me to the end of the book. It was a wonderful feeling to have past tragedy end on such a warm and happy note. It was a very satisfying read.
