Pride and Poltergeists (The Grumpy Ghost Book 6)
By Maggie March
It is a truth universally acknowledged that a grumpy Victorian ghost in possession of a haunted mansion only wants to be left alone.
For Richard Lockwood, former Scotland Yard detective, that changed the moment Anna McGuffin walked through his door. Months of solving crimes together have turned reluctant roommates into something more. Witty banter. Lingering looks. Undeniable chemistry. And one very inconvenient obstacle—he’s dead, she’s not.
Anna and Richard’s fledgling romance is forced to a backseat when Professor Ridley, the manor’s former tenant, appears as a ghost with unfinished business. Twenty years of stubborn pride kept him from apologizing to Eleanor Bennett, the flower shop owner he loved and lost. Now he needs Anna to find his hidden will before his scheming nephew takes everything and robs Eleanor of her inheritance.
It sounds straightforward—help a lovelorn ghost, find a missing will, thwart a greedy nephew. But someone wants that fortune badly enough to kill for it. As Anna, Richard, and Daisy close in on the truth, a killer closes in on them.
With danger mounting, Anna can’t ignore the parallels to her own impossible love story. Watching Ridley wrestle with a lifetime of regret, she knows one thing for certain: she won’t make the same mistake. Now she just has to find a way to make the impossible possible.
For Fans of:
⭐ Grumpy/sunshine
⭐ Impossible romance (ghosts and humans don’t get a happily ever after—or do they?)
⭐ Second chance love (it’s never too late to say sorry—even from beyond the grave)
⭐ Amateur sleuth
⭐ Ghost dog sidekick
Pride and Poltergeists is the sixth book in the Grumpy Ghost series—a paranormal cozy mystery where each book serves up a fresh mystery with a satisfying resolution, while Anna and Richard’s impossible love story builds across the series toward its ultimate conclusion. This book can be enjoyed on its own, but reading in order is recommended for the full experience.
