A Spirited Betrayal: A Paranormal Cozy Mystery
About this ebook
When Quinn Delaney heads to her childhood hometown for what’s supposed to be a relaxing holiday with her kids and best friend, she doesn’t expect to become tangled in the disappearance of an eccentric local with a flair for trouble.
But when clues suggest the neighbor may not have simply wandered off, Quinn finds herself knee-deep in small-town gossip, long-buried grudges, and more unanswered questions than a town hall meeting.
As if hunting for a possible murderer weren’t enough, Quinn’s already strange life takes another turn.
Her aunt suddenly develops a mysterious fear.
Her daughter-in-law starts acting wildly out of character.
And the supernatural refuses to stay politely in the background.
Add in a meddling ghost with strong opinions, a parallel-life twin with unpredictable abilities, and Quinn’s talent for stumbling into trouble, and solving this mystery becomes anything but straightforward.
With secrets piling up, suspects multiplying, and time running out, Quinn and her best friend Toni must untangle the truth before the culprit disappears for good. Or strikes again.
