Some houses hold secrets. Midnight House holds bodies. When Harper Bergeron inherits her eccentric aunt’s haunted bed-and-breakfast in the heart of New Orleans, she expects old plumbing and tourists seeking ghost adventures. What she doesn’t expect is murder. After a celebrity psychic drops dead during a séance in Room Three—locked from the inside—Harper’s dream of running the quirky B&B quickly turns into a paranormal whodunit. With the help of her crime-podcasting best friend, a charming (but suspicious) local historian, and her pet skunk, Teddy, Harper is thrust into a mystery that stretches from the lively streets of the French Quarter to the shadowy secrets buried deep beneath Midnight House. But as ghostly whispers grow louder and an old missing persons case resurfaces, Harper discovers that secrets won’t stay buried—and some spirits never rest. Gumbo, Ghosts, and Deadly Deception is a Southern gothic cozy mystery with plenty of humor, a dash of danger, and one very nosy skunk.
