When Danielle Boatman inherits Marlow House, she dreams of turning it into a seaside bed and breakfast. Since she’s never visited the property, Danielle’s not sure what awaits her in Oregon. She certainly doesn’t expect to find one of the house’s previous owners still in residence. After all, the man has been dead for almost ninety years—shouldn’t he have moved on by now?Charming Walt Marlow convinces Danielle the only way he can move on is if she solves the mystery of his death. Danielle soon discovers her real problems may come from the living—those who have their sights on Marlow House’s other secrets.

Looking for Something Different
We were looking for something a bit different than the standard cozies we had been reading when we found The Ghost of Marlow House (Haunting Danielle Book 1). We liked all the characters - Danielle, Walt, Lily, Ian/Jon, Marie, Sadie, and Emma were our favorites. The storyline was interesting and well-written and kept us reading. We also liked the twist at the end, though we kind of suspected it, it was still cool. Needs more Sadie, though, or Danielle should get a critter for the B & B. Overall, a fun read (my only complaint is that it could be a wee redundant at times) with interesting characters and a charming setting.

4.0 out of 5 stars "The Ghost of Marlow House" is a mystery and ghost story with a dash of humor thrown in.
Reviewed in the United States on July 5, 2023

I confess; I love Gothic Literature ~ ghost stories and all. So, when I saw the title “The Ghost of Marlow House,” I had to try it. On top of that, the setting was in an old, deserted Victorian mansion in a small town in Oregon. “The Ghost of Marlow House” is the first book in the Haunting Danielle series. Though I expect each ghostly cozy mystery will stand on its own, it appears that this is the book that establishes the main characters of the series. This was an enjoyable mystery series with a touch of humor woven in.

Although it was a bit lighthearted, Holmes still gave the reader an interesting story with good, developed characters. It did somewhat remind me of the old B&W movie and TV “Topper” series. Thus, a touch of humor or comic relief at times. Here, a young woman Danielle Boatman inherits a house that she discovers is haunted by the grandson of the Marlow House, Walt Marlow, who reportedly committed suicide there ~ or did he? Thus begins the mystery.

The last five chapters moved quickly, whereas, the first 36 chapters dragged at times slowing down the pace. Do not get me wrong, the story line was interesting and keep me reading. The characterization was good, especially Danielle and of course Walt, the resident ghost from another era. The interplay was delightful as Walt discovers the modern world ~ like television. If you like paranormal with a touch of light heartedness, then you really want to pick this book up. “The Ghost of Marlow House” is a fun and enjoyable and book with good characters, good plot, and fun situations. Do not expect a Gothic classic of suspense, but it is a nice escape and an enjoyable venture! Besides, you will have a chance to like a ghost!

Danielle Boatman has inherited Marlow House from her aunt. With the help of her friend Lily, she plans to turn the old mansion into a bed and breakfast destination. When the two show up at the house, they find it is in disrepair but still looks pretty good for a house that has been unoccupied for ninety years. On their first visit to the house, Danielle finds a surprise waiting for her. The previous owner, Walt Marlow, is still in residence, even though he is dead.

Danielle has been seeing and dealing with ghosts for much of her life, ever since her grandmother visited her after she passed. So although she is not afraid of seeing Walt, she is worried how he will take the news that he is no longer alive. And she does not know how his being there will affect the opening of her bed and breakfast. When she tries to help him pass to the other side, he asks her to look into his death, which was ruled a suicide. She sure has a lot to deal with: fixing up the house and preparing for the opening of the bed and breakfast and trying to solve a ninety year old mystery. She is not sure how she is going to accomplish any of that.

The writing style flows smoothly and the book is an easy read. The author has created characters that are realistic (even though one is a ghost), well rounded and three dimensional. They are a cast of characters that are very likeable and I wanted to spend more time getting to know them. I really enjoyed the interaction between Danielle and Walt and I could have kept reading about them all day long. The mystery is well plotted and maintained throughout much of the book. There are twists and turns that kept me guessing all along the way.

Sometimes, when I am looking through book sites looking for something to read, I come across a book that I really enjoy. That is exactly what happened when I purchased The Ghost Of Marlow House. And after further checking, I found out that this is the first book in the series. So I hit the jackpot when I found this one, especially since cozy ghost books are one of my favorite genres to read. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a well crafted cozy and if you like paranormal, then you really want to pick this book up.

Danielle has inherited the Marlow House from her great Aunt and also everything in it including a ghost. This is one of the best ghost stories I have read in a long time, I loved everything about this story, the mystery, the people and the ghost. So if you are looking for a satisfying story to keep you entertained I happily recommend you read this book which is the 1st in the Haunting Danielle series, I will be busy myself reading them all.

4.0 out of 5 stars A light hearted book suitable for teen readers or people enjoying a slow, paced story
Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2024

This book was one that I got on audible to listen to after surgery. I loved the Ghost and Mrs. Muir, a 60's TV show, and hoped that the story would be similar. The writing style is a little simple, but there is so much potential for the characters, particularly the relationship that might develop between the young lady who inherited the house, and the ghost that resides there. The down part for me was the narrator, who was terrible. I read reviews on her style before I bought the book, and I should have listened. Her voice was annoying, and she took simple sentences and made them sound perky and just tried too hard. I shouldn't give the book a bad review due to her voice. What it did, unfortunately do, is let me know that if I continue the series, I will borrow the books and return them, just to see where the story goes, but not do an audible book in the series. I loved the dog, and I loved the ghost.

There are so many ghost novels and cosy mysteries out there, so let me just say what I like about this one and what sets it apart from others.
Here, I like the ghost. Walt is an excellent character. He is not some nuisance but holds his part of the plot quite nicely.
The female characters are easy to forgive.
And as for the mystery, it was nice even though I could guess right away who was the murderer. I don't like how many times they repeated their discoveries throughout the novel.
All in all, nice and relaxing read.

I loved the concept of this book and the story did not disappoint. I was drawn in right away, found the mystery fascinating, and very much enjoyed the ghost himself.

As this was a free ebook, I was looking forward to reading the next book in the series (maybe for once I've found a cozy mystery series I can sink my teeth into!). Alas, it seems that Walt Marlow, the ghost with whom Daniele establishes a kind of sweet relationship (okay, I know how that sounds -- relationship with a ghost? ew -- but I don't mean it in a romantic way), may never reappear in the series despite an ending that might suggest otherwise. I've messaged the author on Instagram, hoping she will point me to which if any books in the series include good ol' Walt. I'll keep you posted. For now, however, I'll spare myself the disappointment of reading more in this series.

What a great start to a series. It has everything I love. A new beginning, a mystery, great female friendships and a good looking slightly unreliable ghost. I love Dani, she’s a multi layered lead who is really good at solving puzzles of the criminal sort. I’m so looking forward to the next book. Great writing from Bobbi Holmes (def a relation to that other Holmes) and Anna J McIntyre.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unexpectedly Loved This !!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 27, 2018

Well !!! I did NOT expect to enjoy this quite as much as I did at all.....even though I was sobbing at the end like an idiot. That's nothing "spoilery,"either.....I was surprised myself !! I'll definitely be getting hold of more of this series-this one was free and it's sure to be one of the best freebies I'll download this year.
Yes, you need to suspend belief but not in massive amounts, because if you did I'd glaze over and pack it in. I just loved Walt, the original owner of Marlow House. His relationship, if you can call it that, with Danielle is a nice, touching, lovely one. It's nice to read touching and lovely at times as opposed to my regular intake of murder 'n mayhem. Along with the heartfelt moments, there is some terrific humour and the odd crime, so a little bit of something for everybody. Oh, and the odd ghost thrown in which always fascinates as long as it doesn't tend to be overbaked and it wasn't here.
I'd never heard of The Gibson Girl and looked it up on Google and some of them were fabulous-looking girls with teeny-tiny waists !!! That's just unfair....and surely never to be seen again !!
One passage totally baffled me. It was when Bill came to the house and Danielle was messing about with padlocks. I couldn't understand for the life of me what she was doing with them and why !! I noticed a couple of times she tossed a book to the floor, too. She needs to pack that habit in.
It wasn't error-free (you know me)...I read this sentence a few times and it still read as awful English to me-"It wasn't until Danielle carried her last suitcase into her new bedroom did Walt appear to her again." Is it just me ?? It's just not reading properly...and neither did Danielle taking a bite of yoghurt. She also referred to an author's signature when discussing a painting !! Outa should have been outta' and there were some apostrophe errors, the most noticeable for me when Ian referred to his upcoming book and said something would "whet my reader's curiosity." I'm sure he's hoping for more than the one reader !! However, it's pretty good going and almost error-free, really.
I like the artwork on the cover and notice the same, with variations, is used in the series, with little clues as to what's occurring. I certainly look forward to seeing what happens in future instalments.
