Description

You never think about how nice and predictable your life was until you're smack dab in the middle of a murder investigation, plus being haunted by a ghost—because why not?

Cammie loves her job and her position as chair of her small-town historical society. When funding cuts threaten to shut them down, she must come up with a solution or lose it all. With the help of her fellow historical society members, Cammie goes on a mission to renovate an old manor so they can hold a gala fundraiser. Everyone likes parties, right? Not really, but since begging on street corners isn't on her top five things she'd like to do, she opts to fix up the manor.

When she stumbles across a skeleton in the garden her plans fall apart, and the manor is declared a murder scene. With the police making their only hope of getting the funding they need off-limits, Cammie and her friends take matters into their own hands.

But digging into a decades-old crime unearths more than they bargained for. The ghosts of the manor are restless, and the past is more dangerous than they imagined.

Packed with small-town charm and ghostly intrigue, this series is perfect for fans of cozy mystery with a paranormal twist.

Binge the series!

  • Cream Puffed Ghost Story

    Probably my closing review for 2024, and I won’t give a bad review for a mystery that combines cream puffs with a haunted mansion. While I prefer a good old Agatha Christie mystery, Missy Spellman writes a good cozy wind-up. There are no full-frontal scares, but the story runs along at a good pace carried by a great cast of characters, mainly the ladies of the Historical Society. My sisters both love this kind of cuddly story. Tastes vary, so well structured mysteries can be cream puffs.
  • Good book!

    Those ghosts really wanted things solved. I, however, want to know who those ghosts are. I enjoyed reading this.
