A Ghost In The Theatre (Ruby And Nessa - Ghost Hunters Book 5) Kindle Edition

by Gillian Larkin (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 out of 5 stars 222 ratings
Ruby and Nessa Laurel are ghost hunters. They locate ghosts who are haunting places – or people.

It’s a well-known fact that the Mill Street Theatre is haunted. And everyone knows the building closes for cleaning work during the first week in September every year. But this is a cover-up. The theatre closes because the hauntings escalate during that week, bringing a threat to human life.

The owner decides these hauntings have to be investigated, and any ghosts dealt with. The Laurel sisters offer their help. Their investigations lead them to a heartbreaking story.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

I'm an avid fan of mystery stories. I started reading Agatha Christie novels at an early age. My favourite fiction detective is Poirot, I love his fussy ways and his attention to small details. I love the TV series, 'Murder,She Wrote' and have watched every episode. I like working out who the killer is, and what the clues are.

I live in Yorkshire in England with my family.

    A local theatre is having problems with unusual incidents and the manager calls in our intrepid heroes plus a couple of other group who said they can solve the mystery. However he decided that social media is the way to drum up interest in the place and asked all of them to record their findings and post on-line everyday. During an interview with the manager, Ruby and Nessa see their first of several ghosts in the place. Both are affected by the atmosphere and even get attacked. They have to work to discover the history of the place and find some of the older employees to locate the spirits/ghosts that are haunting the place. Really enjoyed reading this book and the sad/happy finish for some of the ghosts was amazing. This book is an excellent read for a gentle type of story with elements of humour and witty remarks. Looking forward to the next, if this standard is kept up.

    I have come to really like Ruby and Nessa and I love mysteries in a theatre setting, so what was there not to like here? I really didn't guess the ending at all and it was interesting that Ruby and Nessa met up with some other ghost hunters - I hope they appear again!

    this is the first book i have read about ruby and nessa's ghost hunting activities and i'm afraid it will be my last.
    badly written, boring , with nothing scary at all that could give rise to anything resembling cold chills or goosebumps.
    worst of all was their feeble attempts to bring humour and wit into the dialogue, it was neither funny nor clever,
    just downright annoying, and very childish.
    extremely disappointing.

    These stories are so much fun and so original. I’m so sad that the author has stopped writing them. Hopefully she will come back to them in the near future.

    this is not a deep, nor a long, novel - but it does have a certain charm & spunk. i enjoyed the playfulness between this pair of sisters and the ghost story was fun. a lovely, spirited, light read.

    I was 'dead' wrong! A full length Ruby and Nessa story was just the ticket.

    Ruby and Nessa are at it again, finding, confronting and helping ghosts. This time they are in a vintage theatre that case study ,has said September for a special haunting. Enter an evil witch, five sympathetic Clairs and a vaudeville act and you've got the start of another great adventure.

    I was sure that the Ruby and Nessa short stories were my favorite guilty pleasure......but like I said at the beginning, I was dead wrong.

    Anyone who likes clever regular women with a bit of sass will love this new series from Gillian Larkin!

    A Ghost In The Theatre (Ruby And Nessa - Ghost Hunters Book 5) by Gillian Larkin is another great ghost book with Ruby and Nessa, the ghost hunting sisters that can see ghosts. These books always have a great mystery to them and make a great ghost read. Esp. when the sisters can see the ghosts and others can't and in this case, there are "ghost catchers" there at the theatre. It is a lovely read as always, I truly enjoy these books.
