Synopsis: There are ghost stories. And there are ghost legends.
From orphan to saloon girl to ghost whisperer, Hattie Hart has been and seen a lot of things in her time. Her new job as a detective with the Tremayne Psychic Specters Investigations Agency takes her out to the remote town of Carolina City, Nevada, on a vague assignment to investigate the disappearance of a US Marshal.
Except, when she arrives, she meets the devilishly handsome Grant Madsen, a US Marshal who is alive and well. Certainly not missing, but certainly the man of her dreams. So why did her boss send her out to this small boomtown when there’s nothing for her to investigate? She soon discovers that in Carolina City, there are strange happenings from the afterlife that threaten to kill her or worse. She’ll have to race against time to save her life, the town, and the US Marshal she was sent to find—and maybe, if she's lucky, her heart.
Review: How the Ghost was Won was the first book by Erin Hayes I have ever read, and I will not stop here! I loved this book so much I purchased a copy for my mother-in-law who loves ghost stories. Erin's world was carefully built, and Hattie Hart is a strong character with the past that is believable.
Hattie sees ghosts. She has seen them ever since an accident took her sister from her early in life and her sister's ghost came to her. AND HASN'T LEFT HER SINCE. Hattie was sent on assignment to a silver mining town in Carolina City, NV by her employer Tremayne Psychic Specters Investigations Agency. Once close to town she was left by the train stop proprietor with a mule and a hasty goodbye. Ordinary people would think again, but not Hattie.
She then she meets the good, the bad and the incredibly handsome (Grant, the US Marshall to be exact) occupants of the town. Most of them just see her as the brothel worker she once was, noting the scar on her face and her fancy clothes. But she does get to make some friends. One unusual event after another leads her to her task at hand, but those events truly make for a captivating storyline. My hat is off to you Erin Hayes!! 5 stars for an excellent book!!
