I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review."River Ghost" marks the fifth entry in Dawn Merriman's Rylan Flynn mystery series. Merriman once again crafts a suspense-filled and enthralling story that is sure to please fans of crime fiction interwoven with supernatural aspects.

The story kicks off with Rylan stumbling upon a body beneath a bridge in the woods, a chilling find made even more intriguing by the assistance of a ghost. The plot thickens when it's revealed that the deceased is none other than the cousin of Detective Ford Pierce. Tied by blood to the victim, Pierce finds himself sidelined from the case. But determined to stay in the know, he recruits Rylan to help him unravel the mystery.

In addition to the mystery surrounding the death of Ford's cousin there were other story threads, all of which entails an encounter with ghosts There is an ongoing story thread, that has me totally invested in the series. I so look forward to learning what will concerning this particular thread.

The blossoming romance between Ford and Rylan has been a delightful journey to follow. As their bond strengthens, they seem to be thriving, yet a looming question remains: Will their love endure Rylan's tendency to court danger? The anticipatory answer to this question will keep readers on the edge of their seats.

The resolution of the mystery left readers satisfied, yet the overarching story arc remains open, promising more intrigue to come. "The River Ghost" proved to be a delightful and breezy addition to the series, offering a blend of suspense and charm that fans have come to appreciate.This review was originally posted on Totally Addicted to Reading
