Haunted going ons

This is a difficult book for me to review because I want to say I liked it but thinking back a lot of things annoyed me. Mainly the main character I did like her but she would say on thing and promptly do the opposite or do what she said she wouldn't do. She also has a lot of conversation with herself but ignores the ghost and for someone who sees and talks to ghosts she spent most of the time scarring herself. I liked the rest of the characters, especially glad to see Annie (the ghost from the library) didn't disappear from the first book. I did like the mystery and with a number of suspects it did keep you guessing and it was an interesting plot. I just wish the main character was portrayed a little differently.
To encourage people back into the library, new head librarian Ripley arranges for a author to come in and sign his new book. Things don't go well when his stalker and ex wife both come and make a scene. But it is not until later and as part of Ripley's other job, as a ghost tour guide, that she really runs a foul of the author. After showing him a haunted house she is surprised when he doesn't turn up for the walk, for someone so keen only a few hours ago she is surprised he missed it. Well that's not true he did turn up, its just that somebody killed him before he could take part. Did he die because of the curse on the haunted house? Or is his killer closer to home? Like is ex wife? His stalkers? Or even his assistant? Ripley gets a creepy feeling around all three of them. But then again it could just be the higher number of sightings of the ghosts in town. Not all of them seem friendly and why does she feel pulled back to the haunted house? Can Ripley find out who killed the author?
Not sure the narrator helps with the story, she is very excitable and some parts of her narration I want to shout at her to slow down and take a breath and others to she seems to take to long a breath. If she was to work on her timing I think she would he a good narrator because she does do some good voices.
I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
