Some libraries protect knowledge.
This one protects murder.
When Brooke McKenzie accepts a substitute teaching assignment at the prestigious Brontë Heights Preparatory Academy, she expects demanding students, wealthy donors, and endless fundraising events-not a restless ghost trapped inside the academy's century-old library.
The spirit of former librarian Kimberly Barrett has waited more than thirty years for someone to uncover the truth about her death. When another administrator suddenly collapses after reopening old scholarship records, Brooke realizes history is repeating itself.
With the help of her ghostly ally Cassidy, twelve-year-old investigator Kailey, and her ever-faithful pug, Ernie, Brooke follows a trail of hidden ledgers, altered archives, and donor secrets that powerful families have spent decades protecting.
But every clue leads to the same terrifying conclusion:
Someone has turned the school's own ventilation system into the perfect murder weapon.
As a prestigious donor gala draws near, Brooke discovers an innocent student is about to become the next victim. To stop another tragedy, she'll have to expose a conspiracy that reaches far beyond one haunted library.
Because some legacies aren't built on generosity...
They're built on lies.
Filled with charming characters, ghostly clues, and page-turning twists, A Lesson in Exposure is another irresistible installment in Lessons in Murder: The Ridge Mysteries.
Perfect for fans of Ellery Adams, Amanda M. Lee, and Leighann Dobbs, this cozy paranormal mystery will keep you guessing until the very last page.
