My review: Young Carolyn and friend Frankie must find the courage to drive out a treacherous ghost!

I was drawn to this book because Martin Best never disappoints when it comes to telling an amazing and very frightening ghost story. But there’s another component to his books that keep me coming back for more. The people who hunt and try to eliminate malicious ghosts are good people. I love their desire to help others who are often traumatized by scary paranormal events.

Spending time reading a book like “The Baby Farmer’s Ghost,” keeps me on the edge of my seat, but it also has passages where I feel like I’m in the Hunter kitchen drinking tea and discussing the paranormal.

In this first book of the series, “A Carolyn Hunter Story,” I’m excited by a sixteen-year-old Carolyn Hunter taking center stage. She shows who she is when she meets a girl, Frankie, who’s a year older. Frankie’s spirit has been seriously damaged by peers who bullied her mercilessly. But Carolyn is someone she can depend on, someone who wants to restore Frankie’s faith in life.

Carolyn also wants to help Frankie confront her fears when it comes to an evil ghost who’s haunting Frankie’s house. With the two of them facing a paranormal nightmare and a younger fourteen-year-old brother making the situation even worse, the story keeps you guessing and hoping Carolyn and Frankie have what it takes to be triumphant ghost hunters. It’s a tense thriller with scenes that warm the heart. It’s a story that I highly recommend!
