How to Seduce a Ghost by Hope McIntyre
aka Caroline Upcher

New series 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. Wen 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.

This was a rather more complicated book than it first appeared. Many different complex characters that I would like to know about.

The ending was really fast with more fires and kidnapping and who the hell is really the bad guy here?!? But I would be interested in reading another in the series.
