Haunting in Hartley by Janice Tremayne
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Second in a series, the year is 1936 and in the town of Hartley New South Wales, Australia we meet our protagonist Clarisse again. An evil phantasm is haunting the town and its residents and when Clarisse encounters this spirit she is enticed by its whispers. It offers her powers to foretell the future, thus being able to control outcomes, but at what cost will tis power come? Will she be able to resist and divest herself from the evil?
Set in a real Australian ghost town, with fictional characters, the story had merit and plenty of paranormal mystery and thrilling elements. I would have hope for better cohesion in the writing, and more use of local dialect. I understand some writers like to lessen terms to not lose their audience, but I feel that takes away from the authenticity of a locale. Other than that it was a good book.
