Acerca deste livro eletrónico

Miss Amy Steadings, proprietor of Hungryhouse Lane, is looking for a house companion. Someone who enjoys country life and antiques, someone who is not afraid of...well, the unusual. What she gets is rip-off artist Gerty Moag and her double-crossing antique-dealing son, Alexander the Grate.

Will the two villains swindle Miss Steadings out of a fortune? Not likely, with the unsavory Sweet kids on the investigative trail. The real fun begins as Zoe, Charlie, and Bonnie Sweet, together with a motley crew of familiar ghosts, gather the clues to solve this ghastly cime. Another rollicking, laugh-aloud ghost story with the original cast of The Ghosts of Hungryhouse Lane, as well as a few new ghostly surprises.
