This cozy mystery with psychic clues helps to uncover whispers from beyond.
A haunted Airbnb.
A gossiping parrot.
And a ghost who refuses to mind her own afterlife.
Prime suspects in a Valentine's Day crime. That's what the Delgado family becomes the moment their talkative parrot, Pepito, mimics a stranger shouting Switch the box! just before the town's beloved chocolatier collapses after tasting his own truffle. What should have been a cozy winter escape at The Evermore House for Hawthorne Corner's Sweetheart Festival turns into a whirlwind of secrets, scandal, and supernatural warnings. When Pepito screeches Poison! Poison!, suspicion lands squarely on the new arrivals.
To clear her family's name, Carmen Delgado, a Cuban-American restaurateur with a knack for cafecito, chaos, and asking the wrong questions at the right time teams up with Professor Gideon Harlow, the Evermore's quiet historian who still hears the whispery guidance of his late grandmother, Lila Evermore. Lila's ghostly hints appear across the mansion's antique mirrors, echoed (loudly and incorrectly) by Pepito.
As gossip spreads faster than melted chocolate on a warm stove, Carmen must navigate jealous rivals, missing honey jars, and alibis that crumble under scrutiny. Guided by psychic nudges from beyond and one very dramatic parrot, she races to uncover the truth before someone else ends up on the wrong end of a poisoned heart.
A warm, funny, paranormal cozy filled with ghosts, gossip, Cuban flair, and a dash of romance. Perfect for fans of Ellery Adams, Bailey Cates, and magical mysteries with charm.
