The only thing worse than a murder is a haunting... but can the two be one in the same?
With no murders plaguing Millerfield for over a year, Amateur sleuth Laura Howcroft is finally able to enjoy her surroundings without distraction. Happy to settle into life with the man she loves, and Monty too, of course. Laura is able to focus her attention on being the best receptionist the Woodend Cottage Hotel has ever seen. Even Janet has finally found the love of her life. What could possibly go wrong?
But when an uninvited guest turns Melrose Place - Janet's new home - upside down, Laura finds herself, not only back on the case, but trapped in the 1800’s... just in time for a murder. With a strange ghost scaring away all of the clientele and potential buyers from Melrose Place and a brutal murder playing out in front of her in a visit to the past, Laura, Howard, and Monty find themselves on opposite sides of time. But what could a centuries old murder have to do with a present day haunting?
Can Laura discover a connection between the Melrose Place Haunting and the ghost of a dead aristocrat?
Or is something far more sinister at work?
