York Street- A Ghost and A Cop Series (Book 1) – Brett O’Shea hopes to make detective. He is visited by a ghost, who claims he’s been sent to help the cop solve the 1933 cold case of a murdered detective and discovers his own unique abilities.
Thoroughly enjoyed this book. I love this genre of paranormal/detective book series. Also, enjoyed the references to Des Moines. I’m originally from this area and familiar with the streets/sites mentioned in the book. I purchased the second book in the series and cannot wait to read it.

“The element of a sociopathic stalker adds a level of mystery and suspense, as well as provides a catalyst to advance the romance between Ann and Patrick. Believe is a good historical romance with a bit of fantasy and suspense thrown in and will appeal to traditionalists of the romance genre.” San Francisco Book Review

England with her stalker from the twenty-first century.
“The author’s writing propels the reader forward in a gripping tale from start to finish. Although Ann and Patrick’s story is at the forefront, other characters such as Malcolm are equally interesting. Readers who are not bothered by the sexual explicitness of modern romance writing and who enjoy a historical setting combined with a touch of fantasy should find Walters’ book well worth reading.”
