About this book

Anna McGuffin has a serious problem: she is falling for a man who has been dead for over a century. Richard Lockwood, the impossibly charming and perpetually grumpy Victorian detective, is the last person she should be involved with, especially while trying to navigate the awkward world of modern dating. But in the world of urban fantasy, the heart rarely listens to reason.

When a guest at a friend’s grand B&B opening takes a fatal plunge from the widow’s walk, the stakes turn deadly. With her friend framed for murder, Anna must team up with Richard to clear his name. The investigation forces them into a high-stakes bargain with a petulant teenage ghost who holds the key to the mystery. As they hunt for a trail of long-lost letters, they inadvertently stir the ghosts of Richard’s own past, reigniting a dangerous feud with a Victorian killer who refuses to stay buried.

This installment of the beloved paranormal romance series masterfully blends a gripping whodunnit with the slow-burn tension of a forbidden love story. If you crave cozy mysteries, sharp banter, and the ultimate grumpy-sunshine dynamic, this ghostly adventure is your next obsession.

I didn't want this one to end! Luckily I see another one on the horizon and now I just have to be patient. As always the writing is light and absorbing.
