About this listen
Never tell Mac Faraday not to do something.
Spencer's police chief, David O'Callaghan, learns this lesson the hard way when he orders Mac Faraday to stay away from the south end of Spencer's mountaintop - even though he owns the property. It doesn't take long for Mac to find out what lies on the other side of the stone wall and locked gate, on which hangs a sign warning visitors to Keep Out!
Topping the list of the 10 top haunted places in America, Astaire Castle is associated with two suicides, three mysterious disappearances, and four murders since it was built almost a century ago - and Mac Faraday owns it!
In spite of David's warning, Mac can't resist unlocking the gate to see the castle that supposedly hasn't seen a living soul since his late mother had ordered it closed up after the double homicide and disappearance of Damian Wagner, a world-famous master of horror novels.
What starts out as a quick tour of a dusty old castle turns into another Mac Faraday adventure when Astaire Castle becomes the scene of even more murders. Mac is going to need to put all of his investigative talents to work to sort out this case that involves the strangest characters he has run into yet - including a wolf man. No, we're not talking about Gnarly.

A cursed castle leads to a good mystery
I loved this book. I am not normally a big fan of supermarkets -definitely on Mac's side here that it needs to have a human explanation but I loved this book, which for the record has both. The author once again weaves a compelling story line that takes the reader on a wild ride, were just about anything can and does happen and most of it can be explained. I love the characters and if the mystery wasn't so good they would be the reason I keep coming back to the series. But luckily the author knows how to write a complicated plot with lot of twists, that is easy to follow along. Win win because put the great characters together with the interesting mystery and you will be hooked on the series. I am off to start the next book.
When his step brother David orders Mac to stay away from a property he has inherited from his mother. Mac is dying to see it, especially when he learns it's a real to God castle. David just hopes he doesn't actually die. The castle has a very checkered past with murders, suicides and disappearances and his mother locked it up after the last double homicide and has refused to let anybody enter it again. Now it's Mac and after learning about the castle he wants to see it for himself, with his trusted dog Gnarly, his police chief brother and head of security for his inn Mac opens the door and sets of a whole load of deaths. Can the wolf ghost or a werewolf be responsible? Or can a more human killer be responsible? In order to find out Mac with have to solve the last murders and the disappearance of a famous author. At the same time David has his hands full with memories the castle provokes, he first girlfriends brother disappeared from the castle, never to have been seen again and with her back in town things get complicated. Gnarly also finds this case tough when he finds a girlfriend that rejects him and a tougher opponent then him. Will the team survive the opening up of the castle or will the curse strike again.
I liked the narrator. We even got some great accents with this narrator making it a pleasure to listen to.
