Overview
An unforgettable heroine is faced with an unbelievable crime in this snarky, charming locked-room mystery that asks: would you rather be snowed-in with a ghost, or a murderer? A grand country estate. On her last day as a detective, Midge McGowan is given the retirement present from hell: a ticket to a haunted house tour. She'll have to spend a weekend ghost-hunting in an isolated mansion with a group of misfits, including a know-it-all paranormal investigator and a has-been pop star. A puzzle that can't be solved. The guests soon realize that the house has a mind of its own... and that they might not be the only ones there. An eerie figure appears on the property, and then the unthinkable happens: someone is murdered in a room that's been locked from the inside. A ghostly weekend they might not survive. When a blizzard cuts the group off from help, the house's own dark secrets begin to surface, and Midge can't shake the creeping sense that they are walking into a nightmare. Could a ghost really be responsible? Or is the culprit one the guests, who have somehow, impossibly, endeared themselves to Midge?

""A delightfully engaging debut, starring one of the most amusing and unusual sleuths I've come across. Best enjoyed with a nice glass of sherry!"" - Tess Gerritsen, bestselling author of Rizzoli & Isles, and the Martini Club series ""A delightful debut! The characters leap off the page, especially the perpetually misunderstood detective Midge, and the spooky mystery will keep you guessing."" - Antony Johnston, author of Can You Solve the Murder?""I have so enjoyed meeting the intrepid Midge and her style of detecting. Such fun! It is so rare for crime and humor to come together so successfully and I guess that the author has a really successful future ahead of her."" - Alex Gray, author of Out of Darkness ""A well-plotted whodunnit with an intriguing and engaging detective."" - Faith Martin, author of Murder by Candlelight
