The Peyton Clark series stars a ghost detective named Peyton who can see and speak with spirits, a gift that makes her both useful and complicated to be around. Starting with Ghouls Rush In in 2014, the series mixes murder mystery plotting with Mallory’s signature humor and supernatural flair. Peyton works cases that the living cannot solve because only she can hear the witnesses who never left.
The middle books, Once Haunted, Twice Shy and Brown Eyed Ghoul, build out Peyton’s world and the relationships that keep her grounded between cases. The titles play on pop culture phrases and song lyrics, which gives the series a breezy, fun character even when the plots turn darker. If You’ve Got It, Haunt It continues that tradition before the fifth book, Valhalla, brings the series to a close and leads directly into the NuLife storyline.
Readers who enjoy cozy paranormal mysteries with a smart, wisecracking lead will find Peyton Clark a natural fit alongside series like Janet Evanovich’s Stephanie Plum or Charlaine Harris’s Sookie Stackhouse books. The five-book run is complete, so new readers can binge the whole thing without waiting.
