(2014)Box Set Books 1-3
(A book in the Agnes Barton Paranormal Mystery series)
An omnibus of novels by Madison Johns
Those hilarious sleuths Agnes and Eleanor of the Agnes Barton Senior Sleuths Mystery Series have gone paranormal in the first three books of their paranormal mystery series, all boxed up for your reading enjoyment. Included: Haunted Hijinks, Ghostly Hijinks, and Spooky Hijinks.
Haunted Hijinks
Ever since Agnes' car accident, things have changed drastically for her. When she wakes up in the hospital, not only is her son Stuart there, who she hasn't seen in years, but a ghostly apparition!
Instead of getting ready for the loony bin, Agnes and Eleanor help ready the Butler Mansion for a grand opening as a bed and breakfast on Halloween, except they find the body of Katherine Clark. It's game on, as usual, for Agnes, except she now has a new partner, one who has remained silent and is - well - a ghost.
Agnes now struggles to keep her wits, keeping her ghostly companion a secret from Eleanor, not such an easy feat since Eleanor is sharp as a tack. Not only that, but where has Stuart been all of these years and what is he up to?
Ghostly Hijinks
Driving up Highway 50 through Nevada, said to be the loneliest road in America, sure would make a body nervous. Unless, of course, you're Agnes Barton, who welcomes the challenge and the chance to check out a real ghost town. But before she even arrives in Silver, Nevada, a mystery has unfolded in the form of a lost little girl, Rebecca, who has become separated from her family who are searching for the elusive Leister's gold. The real kicker is that Agnes saw it all in a dream, but when they arrive at the Goldberg Hotel & Saloon, she realizes so many things about her dream are real, like the details of the inside of the hotel. It isn't long before she learns that the hotel is haunted by various spirits from the past, further making for an interesting vacation.
Agnes is determined to find the missing family, insisting that it simply wasn't just a dream as she learns that a family with a young daughter had indeed disappeared in the middle of the night just before they had arrived. Will Agnes and Eleanor find the missing family before they perish from the elements, or will the knife-wielding spirit called "The Cutter," shorten their chances?
Spooky Hijinks
It's December in the neighboring cities of Tawas City and East Tawas, and they have one thing in common - Christmas is drawing nearer. The only problem is that homes are being broken into in alarming numbers, with guns stolen. Even local militia members Curt and Curtis Hill are victims. That is, until Agnes Barton and Eleanor Mason are on the case, launching an investigation even after the ATF (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives) comes to town, taking an interest in the recent thefts. Agnes's own son, Stuart, who works for the FBI, tells her to back off, but Agnes isn't about to stand down. It's not something she does, even after a threat of arrest.
Life for Agnes and Eleanor is good, they're planning their weddings to their respective fiances, Andrew and Mr. Wilson, who still refuses to tell anyone his first name. With their hearts set on having their wedding at the lighthouse at the point, Agnes yet again is up to her elbows with ghost sightings, but that's something that she's grown accustomed to since her paranormal gift appeared.
As Agnes tries to figure out who the female ghost at the lighthouse is, she finally acquaints herself with the ghosts that live in the attic of the Butler Mansion. The deeper she gets, the more she learns about not only who they are, but the dark history of the Tawas area.
It gets down to the wire. Will Agnes be able to figure out who is stealing guns in the area, stop the ghosts from causing havoc at the mansion, and actually make their wedding plans before they land in jail or worse?
