She's an accidental detective. He’s a centuries-old pain in the ectoplasm. Together, they'll solve crime and drive each other crazy in this laugh-out-loud paranormal cozy mystery series!


When aspiring romance novelist Anna McGuffin relocates to Lockwood Cove, she’s hoping for a quiet retreat to jumpstart her writing—not a haunted mansion complete with a grumpy ghost and a mischievous stray dachshund.


Anna's lifelong secret? She can see the dead—a fact she's managed to keep hidden from the world. But she’s never encountered a ghost quite like Richard Lockwood—a 19th-century detective with the brooding good looks straight out of one of Anna’s novels. Unfortunately, he also has a chip on his shoulder and is hellbent on driving her out of his home.


Between Richard’s sharp-tongued sarcasm and stubborn refusal to ‘move on,’ he quickly becomes more than just a ghostly annoyance—especially when he starts rewriting Anna’s manuscripts and short-circuiting her electronics. Good thing Anna’s not easily spooked. It’ll take more than a moody, meddling spirit to send her packing.


But when Tracy Grace, a nosy ghosthunter seeking a sensational story about Anna, turns up dead, Anna becomes the prime suspect. Desperate to clear her name and keep her closely guarded secret safe, Anna strikes a deal with Richard: help her solve the murder, and she’ll leave his beloved mansion for good—a pact he gleefully accepts.


Now, this odd couple must work together to catch a killer. With tensions rising, sparks flying, and a murderer on the loose, can Anna and Richard crack the case before her secret—and her life—come crashing down?
