My name is Karen Hamilton-Viall and my novel The Curious Life of Ada Baker, is a paranormal murder mystery about a psychic medium who's drawn into solving a murder by the ghosts she lives with. Along the way, Ada has to convince a sceptical detective of her abilities, avoid the attentions of a sinister stalker, gain the help of a squadron of ghostly spitfire pilots and try not to get murdered herself. Reviewers have said the following:
 

"Want a Ghost Story but don't want a scary one? Love BBC's Ghosts and want more of it? Then I suggest you try this book" 5 stars

​

"A modern-day Poirot with a fantasy twist. I thought the concept of the novel was genius and gripping - I read it in less than a day."

​

"What we get is a cosy crime thriller in a style reminiscent of Agatha Christie."

​

"It’s a laugh out loud book which surprised and delighted me."
 

"Dark and wholesome, amusing and chilling, this is a journey into the supernatural to savour."
