The Haunting of Hattie Hastings Part Two by Audrey Davis

This is the second instalment in the Hattie Hastings series, and I would say it is as good as the first or even better. Comic and touching the story continues in the same style. Part one I reviewed a few weeks ago and I'm giving this 5 stars.



After reading the first part, I bought part two straight away. I just bought the third and last part just now. If I have one quibble with the book it’s that it is short. I hope the writer is thinking of releasing the series as a box set now part 3 has been released.
This book is great fun as we follow Hattie and her loved ones getting on with their lives. Finding new love for friends Hattie and Cat is not easy. Hattie is not willing to let deceased husband Gary go, understandable as he still drops in now and then. Cat seems to be on the path to true romance, but will one stupid decision spoil it all. Gary knows he is hanging about as there is still a mission to complete, but we don’t get much closer to finding out what it is.
Part three therefore has plenty more loose ends to be tied up and I can’t wait to get to the conclusion. Well written with plenty of humour, but also some touching moments.

The Haunting of Hattie Hastings Part One: A ghostly, gloriously witty feel-good romance with a liberal dose of comedy by Audrey Davis

Firstly a Happy New Year to all my readers. 2018 seemed to have gone by in a blur. I didn't achieve much on either the writing or reading front. A more challenging job and a new hobby (Painting) has gotten in the way. Here to 2019 and a resolution to read more books.
So here is to the latest book review. A mild mannered and very British comedy. I gave it 4 stars mainly because it was only 90 long and I feel that the story barely got underway. I did buy part two already.



This is the first in a three book series and this darkly comedic story is certainly a good opener. Middle aged Hattie, her layabout adult son and soon to be deceased husband are all characters we can relate to. They are ordinary British people thrown into an unusual situation and dealing with it as best as they can and with a good bit of humour. It was a fun read and I’m keen to snap up part 2 and 3; as there are still a lot of things that are unresolved and I think the fun is just beginning.
