Murder, Most Foul
When Tabitha Black, a popular painter, encourages her best friend and cousin, Courtney Spencer, to attend the reading of her uncle's will, she doesn't realize that they are walking into a ghostly maze of homicidal practical jokes, angry heirs and murder, most wicked.
When Courtney and Tabitha arrive at Mathews Manor, they find that the rest of the heirs have received snide letters from Courtney, who was unconscious in the hospital when the letters were posted. As more heirs gather, the weather deteriorates, and Courtney and Tabitha find themselves isolated with squabbling family members whose hatred for each other is mutual. Before the blizzard ends, murder walks the halls of Mathews Manor.
Handsome, hunky Chief Inspector London of Scotland Yard is recuperating from a drug bust gone bad when he is called in by the Chief Constable, but he mysteriously collapses and is ordered to the hospital by his doctor. When the constables he leaves behind to protect the heirs disappear, Tabitha reluctantly must put away her paintbrush and get out her magnifying glass before Courtney's sixteen-year-old cousin is framed for a murder that she didn't commit.
When Scotland Yard sends Chief Inspector Parker to replace London, Tabitha thinks he will solve the case quickly but he is more hindrance than help when he arrests three people for the same murder at the same time.
She knows the motive (greed), and the means (kitchen hardware), but she just can't figure out the opportunity. The murderer can travel around the house without being seen, as quietly and secretly as a ghost. It isn't until the family ghost shows the way that Tabitha discovers how the murderer can always have an alibi.
The Ghost Shows the Way is the first book in the Ghost Haven Murder Mysteries. If you want a quick, fun, quirky mystery that you can't solve in the first fifteen pages, buy The Ghost Shows the Way and plan on staying up all night to find out who-dun-it.
