Great premise for a tv drama

I have listened to eight of these books now. Really good story ideas. Great setting and I love the characters. Alison can be irritating at times but that is the way she is written, Amanda Ronconi reads her really well, it’s just so much of what she says is patronising. And the over reference to the ‘swine’ went on too much in this book. Using his name or saying the ex would have been better in my view.
Amanda brings this whole series to life with her excellent characterisation and sarcastic intonation.
Although her driving around in a ‘vulva’ did make me laugh out loud. Missed that one in the edit.
One the whole. I would highly recommend these books , very uplifting and entertaining.
Thank you for doing such a great job.

Hauntingly good

I loved this book. How can an author keep fans returning again and again to a series and still keep it fresh and entertaining....by changing everything up and we certainly got that with this story. I love the characters of both the human and ghost kind, the interaction between them is so funny and somehow normal that it has me looking for the next book before this one is even finished. Even more so after this book, as I want to see what the changes mean for the series. The mystery kept me guessing and I had no clue who the killer was but then again I think I was a bit distracted like ghost Paul and was trying to figure out what the ex was up to. A fun series that I really enjoy and would recommend ever book in the series so far.
Ailson's ex husband turning up is never a good thing and this time it seems even worse than usual. He is in trouble with the wrong people and the only way to get out from under it a by selling Alison's home and business. Something she is not willing to do. Even when the trouble follows him and guys with guns start arriving at her guest house demanding to see him. When one of them turns up dead, the ex is the prime suspect but even Alison can't see him killing anyone but the one way to stop the father of her child from going to prison is to find the real killer and help him get out from under the trouble he is in. Even with the ghosts help things won't be easy because with her ex involved things are never easy.
I like the narrator. She helps the story flow with style, grace and humour and is perfect in the role of ghost lady.

Was this the end?

An enjoyable and fun listen. Which felt like the ending to the series. Especially the main characters get what they want/need. Which made it bittersweet at times. The narration by Amanda Ronconi continues to entertain.

Cozy conclusion.

This is what seems to be the conclusion to the series. And a satisfying conclusion it is, even if the story itself (I'm sad to say) is not as good as I'd hoped. Too much of "The Swine" and an overly long and suspension of disbelief stretching showdown.

I choose to view this book as a part of the series and thus I see it in a more positive light. I've enjoyed the series. The irreverent humor and Amanda Ronconi's great narration in particular.

If Copperman decides to continue the series in spite of the "end of the series" feeling, I don't think I'll read any more books.

Didn’t want to end.

Yet another brilliant story in this series. A good plot, moves along at a nice pace. Amanda Ronconi is first class at the narration of these stories.

Lovely as ever

I have spent many pleasant hours following Allison's adventures, and this one tried her patience and caustic sense of humour with very entertaining results. It appears as if the author wanted to provide us with some sort of closure in case he didn't get to continue with the series, and I appreciated the reassurance about the fate of this bunch of much-loved characters. I have seen there is one more book published in the series, and another one in the works, which is great news! I can't wait for Audible to release the audiobook, please hurry!

Good fun story

I really have enjoyed this book series and there are still many more books to come. Amanda Ronconi's performance is wonderful as always. The story was interesting and funny. I had an idea what was going on and most people will guess the situation. But it's just an enjoyable ride.
