The sisters are determined to make a success of the business, but they soon discover that the tavern is haunted by the ghost of a former owner who was murdered on the premises.As they struggle to deal with the ghostly presence, the sisters also face other challenges, including financial difficulties and the unwanted attention of a wealthy and dangerous suitor. Along the way, they receive help from a variety of colorful characters, including a mysterious stranger who may hold the key to solving the murder mystery.The novel is a blend of Gothic horror and romance, with elements of mystery and suspense.
