My divorce is still fresh. I'm not even forty. Quite. The last thing I need is pressure to step right into the life Nanna made for herself in Crescent Bay. What do I need with an 1888 Victorian mansion in a tiny northern California coastal town? I live by myself now. But I'm not alone here. But I'm not alone here. There are those half-heard whispers in the night, the reappearance of Nanna's lost cat.... and then there's the murder. Cherise Tillson died on the floor of the Museum of the Odd and Wondrous, the most eccentric piece of my inheritance, the day after I got to town.

A new life in a new town. But keeping secrets is not my style. I moved to Crescent Bay because of my cat. I inherited Thomas along with Nanna’s old Victorian house.

To top it off, I’m keeping secrets from my best friend. Important stuff. Magical stuff. Soon they’ll know how much I’ve been hiding. Finding a body is a twist even I couldn’t worry up.
