MY REVIEW

Mac and Kate are back in Deadly Spirits and this time we will be hanging out with the Palmetto Paranormal Society investigating the haunted Navarro Hotel.

I haven’t met Mac in person…yet, but seeing as how he hangs around the Florida Panhandle, it may happen. His investigations lead to danger and mayhem. His personality and the fact that he lives in a trailer always makes me think of the Rockford Files and Magnum PI. He’s a bit old fashioned where it really matters, loyal and trustworthy. Even a bit of a prude…He even has a Dobie, my favorite breed of dog. So much is familiar to me, marinas, woods, fire towers, lighthouses, hauntings…

Action and mystery abound and Mac is on the case. E Michael Helms always includes some humor and I do love chuckles with my murder.

The downside to his job, he has a hard time collecting payment before his clients kick the bucket.

Mac has a hard time taking the whole ghost thing seriously, until…the scream. I am a skeptic too. As they walk around with their ghostly equipment and asking the spirits questions, I would be hard put not to crack up laughing.

I loved everything about Deadly Spirits by E Michael Helms. He has included a lot of extras besides the mystery…a critter to fall in love with, a dash of the psychotic and a pinch of the paranormal…a recipe for success.

I love Mac and this is my favorite adventure…so far. Michael has brought him a long way, making him more complex in his simplicity. I can hardly wait for more!

It’s New Year’s Eve 2016 and between football and the year end fireworks, I cannot quit reading.

5 Stars

GOODREADS BLURB

When PI Mac McClellan’s girlfriend convinces him to join the Palmetto Paranormal Society, he becomes embroiled in a case of whooodunnit. The society president, while investigating an old hotel, is found dead at the foot of the stairwell, his neck broken. The man’s secretary and current squeeze stands horrified beside his body. Authorities rule the death an accident. Mac has doubts—no one heard the man tumbling down the stairs. Then the secretary dies in an apparent suicide. Two deaths in two paranormal investigations, and not a peep out of either victim. Mac suspects there’s more going on than a vengeful spirit.
Book 4 in the Mac McClellan Mystery series, which began with Deadly Catch.

ABOUT E MICHAEL HELMS

I was born in Georgia way back in the last century but grew up and lived most of my life on the Gulf Coast of Florida in Panama City (beautiful beaches, girls galore–ah, the memories!). In 2004 my wife and I moved to the Upstate region of South Carolina in the shadows of the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains, a land of stunning vistas and numerous waterfalls.

I’ve been traditionally published since 1990 when my Vietnam War memoir, The Proud Bastards, launched. TPB chronicles my time as a combat U.S. Marine in 1967-68. It’s still in print after all these years, currently with Simon & Schuster/Pocket. I’ve since written a few novels in different genres. I’m also working on a collection of “Dinger, PI” short stories that are being published on Motive Means Opportunity, a crime/mystery blog I share with two other writers of the same ilk. Currently I’m writing the Mac McClellan Mystery series which is set along the coast of the Florida Panhandle where I grew up.

Great review, Sherry! I almost mentioned Magnum and Rockford too. LOL And I knew you’d love his dobie!
Laura Thomas on January 16, 2017 at 8:00 am said:

Shouldn’t the giveaway say it ends on the 30th? LOL

  Yeah, I got it right now. Sorry…another impromptu road trip because off the holiday…MLK Day. Getting back on track now. 🙂

    I had a feeling you guys were on the road! LOL

      Yep. Can’t keep the man down. LOL I hope to read more about the Dobie…I wonder what Mac and Kate will be up to next. 🙂
Stormi Johnson on January 16, 2017 at 10:59 am said:

Sounds like a series I need to check out. 🙂
- michael on January 16, 2017 at 11:07 am said:
  
  Please do, Stormi–I’m sure you’ll enjoy Mac, Kate, Henry, and the rest of the crew!
  You can find good used copies at Amazon for (usually) a penny, plus the dreaded shipping charge.
  Best of luck with the contest! 🙂

Thank you for the wonderful review, Sherry!
I left a detailed reply to Laura’s question at her blog regarding a true paranormal experience I shared with my two young grandsons, my daughter, and son-in-law. It “spooked” us to say the least!
So, I suppose I’d like to come back as a friendly ghost/spirit, unless I go straight heavenward–or YIKES–down! Isn’t that the biggest “mystery” of all?
Good luck to “all who enter here!” OOOOoooooo! 🙂

No, I do not want to come back as a ghost. I do want to come back as a spirit to watch over and help my family. I know, basically the same thing, but a ghost sounds creepier to me!!! Coming back as a ghost sounds paranormalish and coming back as a spirit sounds like truth. Right????
Anyway, great cover for a great sounding book. And I’m with you, Sherry. Observing ghost hunters makes me want to laugh! Great review! I love your tag team reviews.
- fundinmental on January 17, 2017 at 11:37 am said:
  
  I think I watch too much Supernatural and Charmed. I think of them being more bad than good. I wouldn’t mind having your ghost watch over ME too. 🙂 I know I would be very safe.
Dianne Nickel Casey on January 16, 2017 at 6:29 pm said:

Loved the review. A new author to me and I would really enjoy reading “Deadly Catch” and “Deadly Spirits”. Like reading new to me authors.
- fundinmental on January 17, 2017 at 11:38 am said:
  
  Hi Diane. So glad to introduce you. Good luck…maybe this will be the beginning of a happy relationship with E Michael. 🙂
  - michael on January 18, 2017 at 12:13 pm said:
    
    Thanks Dianne! I really think you would enjoy Mac and Kate’s adventures. Mystery, murder, mayhem, a lovable Dobie, a touch of romance, and a dash of humor–what’s not to like! Good luck in the giveaway! 🙂

No I do not want to come back as a ghost. I’m afraid of ghosts.

Kimberly on January 17, 2017 at 7:15 pm said:

Hehe..i am going to haunt everyone. No seriously, I will move on. I love the premise for this. You have added to my wishlist today my friend.
- fundinmental on January 18, 2017 at 9:13 am said:
  
  Sometimes I feel the same way. LOL Glad to hear this is one for the list. All the books will stand alone, though the series is well worth following. Good luck.

  Thanks Kimberly! I’m certain you’ll enjoy the Mac mysteries, especially Deadly Spirits. Best of luck in the giveaway! 🙂

Mary Preston on January 17, 2017 at 7:20 pm said:

A great review thank you.

I think that being a ghost would be exhausting. I’d rather be at peace.

  Thanks Mary. Couldn’t it be just a little fun? LOL Good luck.
brookepruett on January 17, 2017 at 7:46 pm said:

I mean, it really depends. Ghosts have always fascinated me but I couldn’t imagine myself just wandering around in the land of the living after death. I would want to be at peace.

  Ghosts have fascinated me too. I am a skeptic, but I would like to believe there is more. Happy reading.
WL Hawkin on January 18, 2017 at 12:01 am said:

Hi Sherry. Do I want to come back as a ghost? No, I don’t think so. Ghosts always seem so lonely. They’re always trying to get someone to notice them and no one ever does. I am curious to try out my spiritual form though. And, you’re right about Michael’s book cover. It’s charming. I’m in Vancouver, Canada. Wendy at bluehavenpress.com

  Hi W. It seems I am more adventurous…or do I just not want to let go…LOL Good luck and stay warm with a good book. 🙂
Judy Sheluk on January 18, 2017 at 7:52 am said:

I’m Canadian — I guess that makes me “international” which sounds very exotic. I wouldn’t want to come back as a ghost, but a kind spirit to watch over loved ones, yes.
- fundinmental on January 18, 2017 at 9:16 am said:
  
  I have lived in Michigan and New York, so some parts of Canada are very familiar to me. International does have a nice ring to it.

I announced yesterday I am returning as a ghost. And chose 3 people in our nearby city I want to haunt (positively, not hatefully).
- michael on January 23, 2017 at 11:20 am said:
  
  Archie, that’s rather “ghoulish” of you, don’t you think? 🙂
  Personally, I can think of lots of people to haunt if I were to return as a ghost/spirit. Some for fun, others, well. . . .
Ally Swanson on January 26, 2017 at 8:10 am said:

Wow!! Excellent review!! Hmmmm, I’m not sure if I’d want to come back as a ghost. That’s a tough question! Okay if I am murdered than yes, I want to come back to haunt the killer lol. Otherwise, probably not so much. It sounds kind of depressing watching other people live and seeing what I’d be missing out on. Looking forward to checking out this book! Thank you – allyswanson at hotmail dot com.
