О овој е-књизи

Winner and feature story of the 2017 Insecure Writer’s Support Group short story anthology contest published by Dancing Lemur Press. Featuring ghost whisperer Indigo Eady and her sidekick, the irrepressible Franny Bishop, a ghost who really knows how to live.

When ex-boyfriend Badger interrupts her Friday night cross-stitch lesson with ghost pal Franny, Indigo Eady is not sorry—she was on the verge of conceding defeat anyway. She wants to decline the ghostbusting job he offers—it tends to upset her equilibrium—until he reveals how much it pays. When the cupboard is bare and the coffee pot empty, it’s hard to say no.

While not the crime of the century, Indigo and Franny must stop a candy store ghostie with a sweet tooth from dumping valuable merchandise on the floor. Sounds simple enough. Until they discover, not a mischievous spirit with a wanton disregard for inventory, but a little ghost girl on a mission to save the nun who raised her. They soon realize more is at stake… Can the dead child’s cross-stitch pendant be the clue to help Indigo and Franny find the missing nun before it’s too late?

О аутору

Gwen Gardner writes clean, cozy, lighthearted mysteries with a strong ghostly element. Since ghosts feature prominently in her books, she has a secret desire to meet one face to face — but will run screaming for the hills if she ever does.

Her lifelong love of books and reading transitioned naturally into a love of writing, where adventure can be found around every corner—or down a dark, twisting alley. She thinks there is nothing better than a good mystery (being an excellent armchair detective herself), unless it’s throwing a ghost or two into the mix to “liven” things up. Don’t worry, though. Ghosts may be tricky to keep in line, but it turns out they’re darn good sleuths.

Gwen writes the Indigo Eady Cozy Mystery series. The first book of the new adult series, A Scandal in Boohemia, was published in 2019. Her short story, A Stitch in Crime, featuring Indigo Eady, won 1st place and feature spot in the 2018 Insecure Writer’s Support Group anthology, and she placed in the Wow! Women on Writing flash fiction contest with her story, The Elephant in the Tomb.
