Gwen’s Ghosts centers on a woman with the ability to see and speak with the dead. Rather than treating this as a burden, Gwen puts her gift to use, working with the spirits she encounters to uncover what happened to them and who is responsible. H.P. Mallory launched the series in 2023 with Dance with the Dead and released five more books throughout 2023 and into 2024.
The tone sits in cozy mystery territory – Gwen is sharp, often funny, and her interactions with the ghosts she meets give the books a lot of their personality. Each installment brings a new case, but the ongoing threads around Gwen’s personal life and her relationships with recurring spirits keep readers coming back for the next book.
By the time Wake the Dead closes out the current arc, Gwen has grown considerably as a character. Fans of paranormal mysteries where the supernatural element is woven into the detective work rather than bolted on will feel at home with this series.
