A young waitress at a country hotel finds herself with a decades' old mystery to solve - one she hopes will help rid the hotel of its most troublesome guests.
Its ghosts.
***
When Ballinadrum Hotel's elderly owner Donahue Byrnes dies, twenty-two-year-old Mia Anne Moran discovers the spectral rumours that have long plagued the place are all too true. Meanwhile, Donahue's son, Cormac, wants to sell up as soon as possible but finds his plans thwarted by the ghostly goings on.
Propelled by the belief that Donahue Byrnes intended to entrust her with the task, Mia strikes a deal with Cormac. She will act as concierge to the dead - keeping the hotel's ghosts in line, as Donahue did previously - and in return, Cormac will sell the business in its entirety, ensuring the future of both the building and its employees.
But what drew Mia's errant charges to Ballinadrum Hotel in the first place? If she can work out that, she might be able to send them on their way at last. Life is rarely straightforward though - especially when it involves the dead - and as Mia tries to solve the hotel's ghostly conundrum, she begins to find hers changed in ways she couldn't have anticipated . . .

Wow! "The Many Ghosts of Donahue Byrnes" by Laura McLoughlin is a brilliant story that can give you goosebumps. When I picked up this book I had no idea how much it would absorb me. I read it in one day because I really wanted to know the ending.
The action started slowly at first, only to explode at the end of the story. The ending of this story kept me guessing. Literally anything could have happened because you don't mess with ghosts. This book is full of them. You have to be careful while reading. Ghosts don't sleep. Remember that!
If you like ghost stories, you should definitely read "The Many Ghosts of Donahue Byrnes" by Laura McLoughlin. It's worth reading in the upcoming period. Here, the characters celebrate Halloween.
The main character is Mia Anne Moran. She is twenty-two years old. She has been working at the Ballinadrum Hotel for several years. She was friends with Donahue Byrnes - the owner of the hotel where she works. Will his son also be positive about Mia? Cormac Byrnes - the son of the deceased, will have a very difficult task for our Mia. What is this task? For the answer, I refer you to this book. I will only say that it will be related to ghosts. This character has a fiancé. Will their love survive the difficult period that is approaching them like a hurricane?
I like Laura McLoughlin's writing and I would like to get to know her next works.
I am delighted with the cover. It is great and eye-catching. Hard cover and sewn pages are an additional asset of this book. It is worth having it in your collection.
