Seances Are for Suckers

About the book

When a noise startles you in the dark of night, chances are it's a plumbing issue. However, Eleanor Wilde, a self-proclaimed fake medium, is eager to help rid your home of spectral beings - for a price. After all, it's how she makes a living.

Ellie has a sick sister to look after, and her ghost-hunting job, despite her lack of belief in ghosts, helps pay the bills. Sometimes, it even funds a getaway to a tropical paradise. But on her latest assignment, she might encounter real chills.

The wealthy and doubtful Nicholas Hartford III has flown her to his family's ancient manor in England, rumored to be haunted by a ghost named Xavier. Nicholas dismisses it all as nonsense, much like Ellie's profession, but his mother insists Xavier is genuine and is willing to hire Ellie to put an end to the haunting. However, when a genuine corpse appears - and then vanishes - at Castle Hartford, Ellie must use her skills in deception and understanding of the human mind to unravel a murder mystery.
