Story review - The Ghost and Raymond Doyle

[macklingirl.livejournal.com]

A few weeks ago I read The Ghost and Raymond Doyle by Barbara Thomas, which sadly isn't online. I must admit, I was a little curious because it seems it is a story which is either loved and not loved by the readers. I don't want to say hated by some readers, because I think it is only not loved by them. I for myself love it.

It is an AU in which Doyle buys a small haunted cottage and fell in love with the former owner, captain Bodie. The only problem is, that captain Bodie is dead and Doyle fell in love with his ghost.

They live togehter with Doyles daughter and the housekeeper Martha and all is well for a long time. When there are some problems with the money, captain Bodie and Doyle write a book about captain Bodies adventures at sea.

The story inspired me to make this picture.
