A Spirited Supper at Dundoon Castle

By Darci Hannah

Book Overview

When chef Bridget "Bunny" MacBride got a role on the reality show Food & Spirits, she thought "spirits" meant cocktails. Instead, she's cooking up dinners meant to tempt the departed to appear. And to her surprise, she's discovered abilities to connect with the beyond--and crack murder cases . . .

Now that Bunny's entr es come with a side of the Other Side, it comes in handy to have a grandma who's friendly with the elderly owners of a haunted Scottish castle. During Bunny's childhood she heard all about Dundoon's bloody history and the "ghostly piper" who roamed the grounds--and soon she'll be visiting the ancient place with her ghost hunter and psychic co-stars. The annual bagpipe competition in the late piper's honor will make for some good footage as well.

After Bunny serves a feast fit for a 17th century king, including lamb chops with plenty of fresh herbs, she heads outdoors for the ghost hunt. But in the dark, dense fog, someone fatally plunges from the clifftop over the loch. The sound that follows is a mournful, otherworldly bagpipe . . . and once the body of another perished piper is retrieved, Bunny is determined to solve this Highlands homicide--and prevent a killer from getting off scot-free . . .

Cooking with ghosties

Still reeling from her twin brother's sudden death ten years ago, cooking celebrity Bunny is somewhat unwillingly back in Scotland for a filming promoted to be a cooking show but is really a ghostie show. Bunny has recently come into her gift of interacting with ghosts, especially that of her twin brother who appears to her as a white rabbit. The family hosting the show live in an old castle (complete with legends of ghostly omens and faerie dogs) as well as the annual bagpipe competition. While out with her crew in the middle of the night they hear a piper and a menacing dog and other noises. Several of the men go down to the rocky shore and discover the body of one of the judges for the pipers. The consensus is that he was murdered. The clues pile up but so do the plot twists! Fascinating read.
