Ghosts, small town sleuth, dog, cozy mystery Chantilly Adair has seen enough ghosts in Castleberry, Georgia, to know when something isn't right. But when Nell Pickett appears in Del's Diner—confused, slightly transparent, and completely invisible to everyone else—this one hits close to home. Nell volunteered at the historical society just yesterday. Now she's dead. The official ruling? Heart attack. The problem? There's an inventory tag stuck to the bottom of a dead woman's shoe, and it came from the box of Pruitt family donations Nell was cataloging hours before she died. With the town's fundraiser accounts under scrutiny and donated antiques that don't quite add up, Chantilly starts asking questions nobody in Castleberry wants to answer. The police have moved on. The coroner signed off. And someone at that volunteer table knows more than they're saying. As suspicion shifts between a respected committee member with a talent for charm, a nervous museum contact with too many explanations, and a friend whose helpfulness is starting to feel like misdirection, Chantilly turns to the people—and spirits—she trusts most. An inventory tag where it shouldn't be. Fundraiser numbers that won't reconcile. A syringe hidden in plain sight. In Castleberry, everybody knows everybody. That's the comfort—and the danger. And this time, the killer has been smiling across the table all along. 👻 A Ghosts, Ghouls & Guilty cozy mystery medium who's solved enough cases to know when the dead are holding backA scent-trained pittie named Beanie with a nose for troubleA small-town Georgia setting dripping with Southern charmThe ghost of Thelma's late husband who never really leftThelma's Dolly Parton wigs and wildly unhelpful family storiesClean red herrings and a fair-play revealCommunity warmth with real danger lurking underneathPerfect for readers who love amateur sleuths, ghostly sidekicks, loyal pets, found family, and Southern cozy mysteries where the biscuits are warm but the secrets run cold.
