Not wanting to pay any attention to my messy love life (I’ve got not one man vying for my attentions, but two!), I’m happy to put all my focus into my newest case…

Hugo Williams, one of Morley-on-Avon’s residents and an employee at the antique shop, has gone missing.

Or has he simply gone on vacation? By the fact that he packed a bag before he disappeared, it’s a little unclear.

Yet his girlfriend, Fiona, swears there’s something rotten in the state of Denmark… Or England, as the case may be.

After doing a little snooping (with the help of my ghostly friend, Petra), I’m starting to agree with her.

And that’s the absolute last thing Inspector Lean wants to hear—seeing as how I’ve already been involved in every mystery in Morley since I arrived here.

To make a sticky situation even stickier? I have a feeling the culprit might be none other than Fiona’s father…

Dead Reckoning is the fifth in the Gwen’s Ghosts series of Paranormal Women’s Fiction novels. This cozy series is jam-packed with mystery, humor and romance, and features a writer starting over again in a small English town. Oh, and it has ghosts. Lots and lots of ghosts.
