"This book is wonderful…I couldn't put it down. Forget doing anything around the house or even going to sleep, I had to know who the murderers were. As this story wove its way back and forth between times, I fell in love with Port Chatham. I can't wait to see what Jordan investigates next. I want to see her house come alive. I even want to visit with all the ghosts and spend some more time at the local pub. This is a fantastic book to introduce readers to a new mystery series that can satisfy the mystery reader as well as the romance reader and those that like historicals!"--NIGHT OWL ROMANCE TOP PICK REVIEW

"Thoroughly entertaining, gifted author P. J. Alderman's HAUNTING JORDAN kept me absorbed and reading. I simply could not put this suspenseful mystery down. Character Jordan Marsh instantly captured my imagination and left me anticipating the next book in her awesome, supernatural, mystery series.

"I loved Haunting Jordan … loved everything about it. I want to move to Port Chatham! Ms. Alderman is telling two intertwined stories, one in 1890, the other contemporary. She does it superbly, with a tidy and relatively small cast of characters. That's an art many authors never master. Her storytelling is brilliant, the pacing superb, characters marvelous. I read it one sitting and am looking forward to reading many more in this new series."—Diana, Mystery News, also Cozy Library

"The day I happened to stumble onto this book was my lucky day. Haunting Jordan is exciting and engrossing."—Sony eBook reviewer
"HAUNTING JORDAN is one of the best books I have read this year…I love a ghost story. The chapters alternate between the present and the past, and all the characters are wonderful! There is a bit of a romantic tilt to the story, but this is more of a wonderful mystery that gets better and better and wraps up to a great conclusion. I can't wait for the next book!
Make sure you don't miss out…!" Diana Risso, Romance Reviews Today

Still under suspicion for the death of her estranged husband, Jordan decides to go ahead with her plans and move from Los Angeles to the small town of Port Chatham, Washington. She soon learns that her charming Victorian fixer-upper is haunted by two charming sisters, Hattie and Charlotte. The sisters are determined to solve Hattie's murder of over 100 years ago.
This book was delightful despite the grim topic. The cast of characters is lots of fun and I look forward to more entries in the series. (Library Thing, 4 3/4ths stars)
