USA TODAY Bestselling Author Carolyn Ridder Aspenson is back. This time it's a to solve a murder with a town full of suspects. Being ghosted is one thing, but when it happens in both the literal and figurative sense, it gets complicated. I’m Chantilly Adair, Castleberry’s resident psychic medium, and I thought I’d seen it all—until one of the town’s most eligible bachelors, Robert Hale, starts giving everyone the cold shoulder, especially his fiancée. When he turns up dead and his ghost flat-out refuses to talk to me, things go from awkward to downright deadly. With the townsfolk gossiping about Robert’s shady dealings and plenty of suspects who wouldn’t mind seeing him stay ghosted for good, it’s up to me to dig into the mystery. As more secrets unfold, the living are being as tight-lipped as the dead, and I’m left piecing together clues before the killer strikes again. With my police-chief husband Jack working the case from the legal side, I work to convince a very stubborn ghost to help me solve his own murder. But in a town like Castleberry, where the past is never truly buried, getting ghosted might just be the deadliest clue of all.
