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, had 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. Also keeping her guessing is Marc Westbrook, a landlord who embodies the meaning of the term drop-dead handsome. Soon, she'll have to trust him with the secret that drove her into seclusion, a secret that has already cost the life of one man she loved. "Traci Svendsgaard does a wonderful job narrating this tale of a gentle haunting, a decades-old mystery, a new love, and an oddly intelligent cat. The Haunting of Josie is lightweight reading, ideal for the beach or a cozy couch on a winter's night. At five hours, it's a breezy escape into a romantic, haunted house, where the spirit is the character that needs help. Svendsgaard's gentle delivery highlights the simple beauty of the story. She even does a pretty good imitation of a 'talking' cat." -- "AudioFile" Kay Hooper is the award-winning, New York Times bestselling author of the Bishop/Special Crimes Unit series, including Hidden Salem , Hold Back the Dark , Wait for Dar k, Fear the Dark , Haunted , Hostage , Haven , Blood Ties , Blood Dreams , and Blood Sins , and the Bishop Files series, including Final Shadows , A Deadly Web , and The First Prophet .
