Representaion In Favor Of Books Haunting Jordan (Port Chatham Mystery #1)
RITA-nominated author P. J. Alderman weaves present-day supernatural sleuthery with nineteenth-century intrigue in the first book of an enchanting new mystery series set in picturesque Port Chatham, Washington.Jordan Marsh left L.A. for the quaint Pacific Northwest town of Port Chatham in pursuit of some much-needed R & R. As the prime suspect in her cheating husband’s murder, she had been hoping to immerse herself in the restoration of the charming Victorian she’d just bought—and put all talk of homicide investigations behind her. But as she soon discovers, the coldest of cases cry out to be solved, too.
For this old house comes fully furnished—with two garrulous ghosts who have a century-old murder of their own they’d like her to look into. Now, if Jordan can keep the L.A. police at bay, and sort through a suspect list of shady characters circa 1890, she might just clear a wrongly accused man’s name—and her own.

This book sounded interesting from the blurb. It sounded like a creepy murder mystery with ghosts. It was more like a half-assed romance story with ghosts. It starts out in the year 1890 with a damsel in distress. Yech, could you BE more cliche? It just gets worse from there. Dont continue to read if you like female characters who are able to think past how hot their new neighbor is. 🙄5 starsI really, really enjoyed this. Murder mysteries set in both present day and in the 1890's, ghosts, a little violence, humour, jazz, small town, the sort of pub I'd be at home in and a huge dog. Who could ask for more!I will definitely be reading the rest of this series and more by this author. Wonderful book.
I really enjoyed this cosy mystery. Lively characterisation, lovely descriptive writing plus I loved the sense of place that the author managed to convey.I know that some other reviewers have muttered crossly about the plot (not the book's strongest point, but not terrible either) & about the jumps between time. I feel that the time jumps were important in helping to heighten the sense of drama in the novel -- by seeing through Hattie's eyes we are doubly motivated to solve the mystery of
Thoroughly enjoyed. Very hard to put this one down. Laughter, a little love angle for the heroine as well as her friendly ghosts, twists & turns. Will be reading this author 's next in series as well as her Columbia River series of which I have read & enjoyed the first one as well. Wish there were more of her stories available.
In the middle of a tabloid scandal, Jordan Marsh's soon to be ex-husband was murdered. After months of speculation and suspense, Jordan has uprooted her life and moved to Port Chatham. She plans to restore a beautiful old Painted Lady. What she doesn't plan to do is solve an old mystery - the death of the first owner of her classic house. She also doesn't plan on being on a first name basis with the ghosts that haunt her house, but she is. She's finding a lot of surprises here in Port Chatham,
Very interesting concept to this series -- Haunting Jordan is the first novel and I look forward to more with Jordan and her friends.I admit to feeling it was a bit slow-going at first; that's the reason for 3 stars instead of 4. Being the first book there are all the characters to introduce and "flesh out", plus a couple of very...ummm..."active" ghosts tossed into the mix. The author also alternates between present time and the 1800's but you soon get used to that as P. J. Alderman weaves her
