About this book

If you love small towns, endearing relationships, food, animals, and a touch of murder, you will love this mystery series set in the small town of White Eagle Montana.

In book 14 in the series, strange lights, sounds in the night, cold drafty spaces, and moved and missing items, can only mean one thing to the locals who’ve lived in the isolated Scottish countryside for generations. But in spite of the assurance of the villagers that the other worldly pranksters will have their fun and then leave, the new owner of the Faulkner Castle hires Tony to come to Scotland and install a state-of-the-art security system. Tony doesn’t believe in ghosts and the job seems like a perfect opportunity to take some time away from White Eagle, so he talks to Tess, and they agree to make the trip. Fun is had by all until Tess spots her dad in a local pub and realizes that something more than they originally thought might actually be going on.

New scenery and a plot that was unusual

September 6, 2022

I liked that Tess, Tony and Tillie got to leave the US and travel a bit. The location was fun and there was a bit of a twist with her Dad. These books are always great but too short. I can read the entire book in one night. Thank goodness I am still working my way through several other series by Kathi so I have more books by her to read when I am in the mood for a lighter Cozy Mystery. I feel like this series is headed in a bit different direction going forward, but reading each new entry in...

The Castle Caper

The story had mystery but not a lot of action. The characters are great. It’s time Tess get over worrying if her father cares about her. I will read the next book in the series. ) One person found this helpful

Ghostly good

What is better than an old castle in Scotland that has ghosts, dead bodies and multiple suspects? Tess and Tony go to Scotland to stay at a supposedly haunted castle so that Tony can fix the computer system that is suddenly glitchiing causing lights to go on and off and toilets to flush on their own. Or are the ghosts acting up for the new owner as stated by the paranormal investigators also staying at the castle. Just when things can't get any creepier, Tess and Tony discover not one but two...

What could possibly happen in an old castle

May 18, 2026

So this story shows that an old castle always has more going on than just one thing. And so there's more than one body. (no skeleton) But the other places in this old castle has a few special guests that are difficult to find. Strange music and small bright lights can make you feel something. Tilly the dog can see them. So solve the murder and then head home. )

Great book from a great author

February 14, 2023

This book was another great story, this time Tess and Tilly accompany Tony on a trip to Scotland. Tony has work on a computer. Along with well developed characters from the series, new characters join them in a \"haunted castle.\" The usual adventure becomes involved with mystery and Tess and her family/ friends are left to solve it. Another great read ) One person found this helpful
