The Ghost of Marlow House
Synopsis
Danielle Boatman inherits Marlow House sight unseen and arrives on the Oregon coast with a plan to open a bed and breakfast. What she finds is a handsome old property, a town with opinions, and Walt Marlow — a former owner who has been dead for nearly ninety years and shows no sign of leaving.
Walt is good company and entirely stuck. He is convinced he cannot move on until someone establishes how he actually died, and Danielle is the first person in decades who can see him well enough to be asked. The trouble is that Marlow House is rumoured to be hiding more than a ghost, and the living people circling it want what is inside far more than they want the truth about Walt.
The Ghost of Marlow House opens Bobbi Holmes's long-running Haunting Danielle series — a light, chatty cozy paranormal mystery built on an amiable ghost, a practical heroine, and a small coastal town's worth of neighbours who will be back for many books to come.

Frequently asked questions

While each book features a self-contained mystery, the series includes a long-running narrative arc concerning the circumstances of Walt Marlow's death and the development of Danielle's abilities that unfolds across multiple volumes. Reading them in order is recommended to fully appreciate the character growth and the gradual reveal of these overarching secrets.
Why do some early listings refer to this book as Haunting Danielle Book 1?
