Jordan just wants to blend in and fit in, in the new home town of hers. That isn't as easy as it sounds though, especially since she has a special "gift" of seeing ghosts and finding dead bodies. Her historic house is enhabited not only by her, but also by some ghostly roomates. She maybe wouldn't mind, but they just seem to cause her grief lately. A new ghost is trying to serenade her ghost roomate, but that roommate already has a ghostly boyfriend. Now she is in the middle of a ghost love triangle. Wouldn't be so bad, but the new ghost man, Michael, is also the ancestor of the man Jordan found while hiking with her police friend Darcy. Coincidence? Was Holt trying to find the ship wreck site that Michael supposedly died in? Why would he be looking there after all these years, is there something being hid under water at the ship site or something valuable? Or was Holt finally done in by someone not very fond of his womanizing ways? Then Jordan finds that Michael may have not died in the shipwreck, but after. Did he die of wounds from the wreck or because of his opium handeling that was on his boat? Can Jordan find the killers of two dead men, one dead for many many years and one dead just a few days?I found this to be a good read. It was very well written and had a pretty good pace to it. There were a few times of lull or slow moving, but it quickly picked back up. I came to quickly like the characters of this small town. They were very well developed and seemed to just take on very distinct personalities. There were a few things going on in this book and the writing was a bit back and forth, but it did make sense still. It was back and forth between when Michael was alive, 1893 and when Holt was alive, present day. It was done in such a way though, that made sense and didn't make me feel like it was all over the place and that I really had to focus on what I was trying to read. It was a longer book too, but wasn't so long or drawn out that I thought it could have been shorter per say. I enjoyed the ghost twist and the ghost characters in this book, I just thought it made this book very unique for a mystery book. All in all, I would recommend this book to others, it was a pretty good read and a good mystery.4/5 Stars! I really love this series! The ghosts are funny, bright and delightful. You really need to read this series in order since there are references in this book to things that happened in the first book.Ghost Ship is a fun followup to Haunting Jordan. Jordan is once again called upon by Port Chatham's deceased residents to investigate one of their own murders, setting up another dual plotline that bounces back and forth between the past and the current timelines. This time the ghostly victim is Michael, the former rival for the affections of Jordan's ghostly roommate Hattie--and Michael's much more aggressive about having been killed. The modern murder is of Michael's own descendant. Naturally, Jordan has to solve both at once!Can't wait for book three in the series.

A little wierd with the authors' perception of what ghosts can and cannot do.
