Lipstick, Lies & Dead Guys
2014
From National Bestselling author Jennifer Fischetto comes a hauntingly humorous new series...
Gianna Mancini has chatted with ghosts most of her life. It's never affected her much. Until now.
The latest ghost in Gianna's family-centric, boy-complicated, job-depleted world is Emma Tinsdale, a woman Gianna despises. Wanting Emma out of her apartment and her orbit, Gianna chooses to help her move on, but she doesn't expect to come across poisonous jam, a vengeful cop, or a group of friendly clowns.
When a relative is framed for Emma's death, Gianna must dig deeper and faster to find out what really happened that fatal night on the beach. With help from her sister, her cop brother, and her ex-boyfriend, Julian, she gets close to figuring out the truth. But when the killer closes in, Gianna better watch her step unless she wants to become the latest member of the dearly departed.

While Gianna Mancini longs for a cozy family Christmas back home, this year her cousin, Claudia, is getting married, and Gianna is the maid of honor.

Cupcakes, Butterflies & Dead Guys
2016
From National Bestselling author Jennifer Fischetto comes another laugh-out-loud Gianna Mancini Mystery...
When Gianna Mancini, reluctant ghost whisperer and plus-sized shoeista, attends a bridal shower for a family friend, she doesn’t expect to see her favorite movie star, Raina Stone in attendance. Too bad Gianna's gift of communicating with the dead doesn’t give her the ability to predict the future. If it did, she'd have known she was about to stumble on Raina’s dead body.
The police rule it as an accident, but something feels off to Gianna. With the help of her dead Aunt Stella and a grumpy ghost named Freezer Dude, Gianna discovers that the celebrity was harboring secrets from her past. Secrets that may have contributed to her death. Between spying on suspects with Aunt Stella to having to rescue her favorite boots from Raina’s quirky manager, Gianna has her work cut out for her.
The closer Gianna gets to the truth, the more danger seems to find her, and if she’s not careful, she may just end up crossing to the other side.

2021
From USA Today bestselling author Jennifer Fischetto comes the next hauntingly fun Gianna Mancini Mystery...
Reluctant ghost whisperer and newly hired party planner, Gianna Mancini, finds herself helping to plan an over-the-top wedding unlike any she’s ever seen—gaudy carnations, mermaid-inspired bridal party gowns, and a piña colada infused wedding cake. Whatever the client wants. But when Lexi, an author and the maid of honor, is found dead at the bridal shower, Gianna’s job becomes much more difficult. Especially when Lexi's ghost appears to Gianna, demanding answers.
Lexi is not all that happy she’s been killed before her latest book can be published—a scandalous drama not-so-loosely based on the secrets of those in her real life. She wants revenge for her death, but there are more suspects to the killing than Gianna can keep straight. On top of that, the bride-to-be asks Gianna to step into Lexi’s ridiculously high stilettos and become her new maid of honor. With only a week before the wedding, the clock is ticking down for Gianna to find a killer. Seven days of giggly women, angry relatives, and a ghost who is more vengeful than helpful. While Gianna keeps her attention on a houseful of suspects, a killer watches her every move...and if Gianna isn't careful, they just may strike again!

From USA Today bestselling author Jennifer Fischetto comes a locked-room mystery that will leave you chilled to the bone!
There's nothing more important to ghost whisperer Gianna Mancini than family. Which is why for Pop's 60th birthday, she's planned an intimate family get-together, just before an impending Nor’easter hits their town. A quick catered dinner and cake, and everyone will be home before the first snowflake falls.
Or so she thought.
Pop’s eccentric extended family from New Jersey decides to crash their quiet celebration, and before Gianna can do more than react, she's hit with another unwanted surprise—in the form of a dead body. As if murder wasn't enough to put a damper on the partying mood, the blizzard arrives early, forcing Gianna and her family to spend the night with a killer.
With the help of her police detective brother, Enzo, Gianna knows she needs to get to the bottom of this mystery... before more family ends up dead. Who would want the deceased gone? Why would they do it at Pop's party? And where are they hiding... or perhaps, are they hidden in plain site among the party guests? Too bad the dearly departed isn’t giving up any clues. Secrets unfold, suspects emerge, and as Gianna gets closer to the truth, she fears the killer may be one step ahead of her...

Road Trips, Blue Skies & Dead Guys
2024
From USA Today bestselling author Jennifer Fischetto comes a ghost whisperer on the road...
Reluctant ghost whisperer Gianna Mancini’s mother loves collecting murderabilia–objects once belonging to murder victims. It’s become quite a hobby, to the point where she has a basement full of items. When Gianna discovers there’s a ghost living down there—attached to the dead woman’s handbag—Gianna asks the departed to move on. But the senior citizen, Betty, is determined to first get revenge on the person who pushed her down a flight of stairs. And she knows exactly who it is. Her best friend.
In an effort to help Betty go to the light, Gianna, Ma, Betty, and Gianna’s detective brother, Enzo, decide to take a road trip to Betty's hometown of Chance, MA to poke around to see if they can find clues to lead the police to this supposedly guilty best friend.
But the more they dig, the more secrets stumble at their feet, and before long, they realize there’s a list of suspects who could’ve killed Betty for her handbag. The local police don’t appreciate out-of-towners nosing around any more than the people in Betty's former life. Before long Gianna finds herself being chased, kidnapped, and threatened. Can she get to the truth before this road trip takes a deadly turn?
