Miss Phoebe Astin is quite accustomed to speaking with spirits as they leave this life on their way to the next. As the mortician at The Economic Undertaker, Phoebe and her brothers, Julius and Ambrose, find themselves inundated with victims from a ferry disaster on the river. But when one of the victims, Mrs Elizabeth Rowe, appears to Phoebe and insists she did not die on the ferry, but her killer hopes it will appear as such, Phoebe is compelled to help. Passing the information on to her beau, Detective Harland Stone, it soon turns out all is not as it appears, especially when photographs taken by Phoebe’s friend, Kate, tell a different story. It is a time of flurry for the Astin family, who believe being dead is no excuse for letting a crime go unpunished.
