One founding father.
One deathbed curse.
A town haunted for generations.

Ward Chatham, founder of Chatham Hollow, is infamous for two things—hidden treasure and a curse upon anyone bold enough to seek it. Since his passing in 1793, no one has discovered his riches, though his legend has only grown stronger.

In 1888, charlatan Benedict Fletcher holds a séance to determine the location of Chatham’s fortune. It’s all a hoax so he can search for the gold, but he doesn’t count on two things—Victor Rowe, a true spiritualist who sees through his ruse, and Chatham’s ghost wreaking havoc on the town.

More than a century later, the citizens of the Hollow gather for the annual Founder’s Day celebration. A paranormal research team intends to film a special at Chatham Manor, where the original séance will be reenacted. Reporter and skeptic Aiden Hale resents being assigned the story, but even he can’t deny the sudden outbreak of strange happenings. When he sets out to discover who or what is threatening the Hollow—supernatural or not—his investigation uncovers decades-old conflicts, bitter rivalries, and ruthless murders.

This time, solving the mystery isn’t about meeting his deadline. It’s about not ending up dead.

5.0 out of 5 stars A mystery full of suspense and intrigue.

The Haunting of Chatham Hollow is an intriguing story full of suspense, ghostly visits, twists and turns, greed, deception and mystery. Two creative, talented writers seamlessly worked their inimitable styles into this intricate storyline to create an enjoyable read.

I have read books by both of these authors and was never disappointed. I was looking forward to reading this story to see how they worked together. They did a remarkable job in this multi-paged tale and should write more stories since their styles worked well in these two storylines, one of the past and the other of the present.

There is plenty of mystery and suspense as the story grows with an undercurrent of paranormal activity to keep things interesting. The characters are well developed and intriguing, all with secrets and mysterious backgrounds that they try to keep hidden to protect themselves.

I highly recommend this story if you are a lover of mystery, suspense and spiritualism.

This is a well written and exciting novel written on two timelines, 1888 and the present, and united by the vindictive ghost of Ward Chatham the founding father of Chatham Hollow.

Chatham Hollow is a low-profile American town with a small presence in the greater world due to the legend of the séance, conducted in 1888 by fraudulent spiritualist, Benedict Fletcher, to summon the spirit of Ward Chatham. The summoning is believed by many townspeople and outsiders to have gone horribly wrong and ended with Ward Chatham cursing the town and all of its people. The deaths of two men directly after the séance fueled the fire of belief and superstition which has been passed down from generation to generation.

Now, Chatham Hollow has an opportunity to become famous country-wide for its evil spirit through the filming of a re-enactment of the séance for airing on a well-known television show called Supernatural. The re-enactment is planned to involve various town residents and decedents of the original participants, including Aiden Hale, a descendent of the second genuine spiritualist, Victor Rowe, who attended the original event, and his grandmother. The town council, including the editor of the local newspaper, Greer Faraday, is delighted by the idea as it will result in a lot more visitors and bring prosperity to the town.

Aiden, who is a skeptic and does not believe that either he or his grandmother have any talents as spiritualists, is anti the whole idea as he does not want his town to become busier and be spoiled by tourists. He is pushed into taking part and being the lead reporting in respect of the whole event by his employer, Greer. As Aiden slowly starts to unravel the mysteries of the past, he uncovers a lot more scandal than expected. He also comes across a plot to destroy Greer, and possibly the whole town, in the present.

I enjoyed the character of Aiden who is portrayed as a determined young man with lots of grit. He is caring and respectful towards his grandmother and tries to accommodate her, even when he doesn't agree with her and she is difficult and a bit dictatorial. I really enjoyed this appreciation of family ties and respect for elders which has become less common in literature recently. The scenes between Aiden and his grandmother were very appealing with the banter and arguments over wholesome, home-cooked meals. It felt very genuine and relatable for me.

The altercations between characters, and the darker scenes of murder, physical abuse, and ghostly apparitions were well drawn and believable. The entire novel and a fabulous atmosphere of authenticity which made this an excellent read.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Terrific Ghost story Everyone Will Enjoy

This story is by two authors whom I have enjoyed separately. When I picked up the book, I expected to be able to guess which author had written which section. The fact that the book's timeline is events in 1888 and 2022 promised to make my expectations easier to figure out. Well, I was so wrong. This book is as if one genius author penned the whole thing.

The authors wrote the scenes for 1888 such that the reader felt part of that time. The narrative was authentic, and the action and dialogue didn't hint at the fact that the story's publication date was 2022. Similarly, there was no 1888 carryover into the modern era. Characters behaved as they should in 2022. The writing in this book was awe-inspiring.

The characters were very well-developed and had distinctive voices. I was never confused about who was who, and the authors handled the switches between 1888 and 2022 beautifully. I became very fond of a few of the characters since the authors also could give them depth and likability.

The plot was intricate and focused on greed as the common element through the ages. This element kept bringing the characters into conflict, whether spiritual or corporal. You have to know that there are both in this story.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and would recommend it to anyone who likes ghost stories and elements of surprise in their reading. This beautifully written book delivers on the promise of a good read.

Really enjoyed this, excellent story with some interesting, some likeable and some downright annoying characters. Spiritualism and mediumship well presented and both the fakery and the real stuff beleivable.
