Inheriting Blackwood Manor was supposed to give Isabella Blackwood a fresh start.
Instead, it gave her a crumbling mansion, temperamental plumbing, one bossy resident ghost-and a dead man bleeding on her kitchen floor.
Isabella has seen ghosts her entire life, so living with Mabel Mae Whitaker is nothing unusual. Mabel has haunted the manor since her suspicious death decades ago, considers herself the head of the household, and refuses to let being dead interfere with her matchmaking, meddling, or enforcement of proper coaster use.
The murdered stranger is a much bigger problem.
Especially when Isabella becomes the police's most obvious suspect.
Then another ghost appears.
Jackson Sullivan is a handsome, sharp-tongued investigator from the 1920s who possesses plenty of charm, several secrets, and enough confidence for both the living and the dead. He claims he can help Isabella solve the murder. Mabel claims he is an arrogant trespasser who needs to keep his ghostly shoes off her clean floors.
Unfortunately, Jackson may be Isabella's only useful witness.
Clearing her name means working with Logan Sullivan, her childhood sweetheart and the detective assigned to the case. Logan believes in evidence, procedure, and explanations that do not involve witnesses walking through walls. His partner, Harper Scott, believes Isabella is innocent-but would appreciate it if people stopped dying in her house.
Then there is Ethan, Isabella's dramatic and excessively confident best friend. Ethan can see ghosts only occasionally, and they always appear at the worst possible time. His talent may make him an important witness, assuming he can keep his clothes on long enough to give a statement.
With a killer on the loose, two opinionated ghosts in her manor, and old feelings for Logan refusing to stay buried, Isabella must uncover the truth before she inherits something far worse than another ghost.
Like a murder conviction.
