A Spirited Swindler: A Paranormal Cozy Mystery
About this ebook
Empty-nested and excited to start a new chapter in life, Quinn Delaney is nearly ready to open her lakeside café in the small town of Bookend Bay.
Everything is perfect until she realizes she’s being followed.
It turns out the stranger is not only dead but uncomfortably connected to Quinn’s husband.
Suddenly Quinn has worse problems than selecting a feature scone. Now, she’s questioning everything she believed about her marriage and her sanity.
Midlife isn’t supposed to bring a change like this!
When police zero in on her husband as a suspect in a murder, Quinn faces an impossible problem. The ghost has evidence that could clear him, but she’ll only hand it over if Quinn does exactly what she says.
And Quinn isn’t so sure he’s worth saving.
The closer she gets to the truth, the more she fears a secret that could destroy everything she’s worked for—before she ever serves her first spiced latte.
Now, she thinks some secrets should rest in peace.
If you like savvy, sleuthing best friends, midlife debacles, and ghosts with agendas, you’ll love A Spirited Swindler.
