Great tale, great characters, imaginative happenings!

As the characters evolve, and the plot thickens, California Ghosting creates an entirely enchanting environment for a who-dunnit. Point Reyes has been thoroughly researched and times gone by have been totally recreated in the now. The ghostal characters can be vividly imagined, due to the extensive descriptions of each individual personna and their lively intereactions not only the living, but with each other as well. Mix these ingredients with a dash of romance amongst the living, a sense of humor, and supsense, and there exists a novel that will keep you reading.

Interesting and full of suspense

Have already read the book twice and recommend it for readers of all ages. Mr. Hill has a command of the English language and has an exciting writing style.

An enjoyable potpourri of characters

William Hill's "California Ghosting" is a well-rounded mix of mystery, suspense and fantasy, filled with interesting individuals. Even if I wasn't pulled along nicely by the plot (and I certainly was), I would have kept turning pages just to see what the people (and ghosts) in the story would do next. I particularly liked some of the subtler elements, like the interactions between some of the "fully-fleshed" ghost characters and various two-dimensional, "real" minor characters . . .

A wonderful mystery, full of character! A great movie?

A visit to Ghostal Shores is worth the price of admission. My favorite aspect was the characters. They were realistic and full of life, even the ghosts. California Ghosting is a nice twist on the haunted house theme, blending action, suspense, mystery and romance at a fluid pace that keeps moving faster and faster. I could clearly see the characters and the resort. This would make a great movie!


Simply Great. It will be a tough wait to the next offering

California Ghosting is a fitting continuation in Mr. Hills supernatural genre. So far the trio I've read keep me on the lookout for the next William Hill release. Dawn of the Vampire, Vampires Kiss, California Ghosting. Vampire Hunters is next on my list, Mr. Hill will have to write fast to have the next book available before I have finish it.

STRANGE GHOSTS Old West spirits haunt Ghostal Shores, a very special coastal resort north of the San Francisco Bay. Ethereal bellmen, bartenders and hookers cater to and mingle with wealthy men, beautiful women and eccentric psychics from all over the world.

WHO MURDERED PETER MacGUIRE? The selfish and dragon-tempered co-founder? The greedy manager interested in making the resort a timeshare: Mac's lovely but bitter illegitimate daughter: His former lover, the voluptuous manager of international marketing? The flirtatious and secretive in-house physician? The overzealous psychic covetous of Mac's ghostly liaison duties? Or could the murderer have been one already dead-one of the newly arrived outlaw ghosts?

A ROMANTIC TRIANGLE When Mac's beautiful lawyer guides his handsome heir through the mysteries of the haunted resort sparks fly between Angela and Blasing. The fire even ignites the interest of an alluring green-eyed ghost wanting Blasing's body and a dark, ethereal stranger who threatens them all.

MALICIOUS SPIRITS A new breed of spirit has driven out the friendly resident ghosts. Unsavory rogues, vicious outlaws and ruthless gunslingers now plague the guests. What is the secret of GHOSTAL SHORES and the past that haunts them all? Come investigate with Angela and Blasing. Come. . . CALIFORNIA GHOSTING
