About this listen
Empty nested and eager to start a new chapter in life, Quinn Delaney is almost ready to open her new lakeside café in the small town of Bookend Bay.
But her excitement turns to trepidation when she realizes she's being followed.
Confronting the stranger sets Quinn on a course where her problems no longer revolve around selecting a feature scone. She's suddenly questioning everything she believed about her marriage and her sanity. Midlife isn't supposed to bring a change like this!
When police question her about a murder, Quinn confides in her best friend Toni, the only one she can trust with her unbelievable secret: she's being stalked by a conniving ghost.
Things go from bad to worse when the ghost makes her agenda clear—an exchange of favors that could save or sink Quinn's café before she serves her first spiced latte.
The closer she gets to the truth behind the swindler's murder, the more afraid she becomes of a horrible secret that could ruin her life.
Now, she can't help thinking some secrets should rest in peace. Can she save her café and solve a murder before her life is ruined?

Story
Sal, a recently divorced and temporarily suspended lawyer, relocates to the small town of Simpato in Northern California to her parents' old home, vacant since their deaths. Looking for privacy, a reprieve from her life, and a fresh start, instead she's quickly immersed into the small-town gossip mill of characters who all know more about her than she does of them. When a murder happens minutes from the spot where she is hiking, Sal finds herself dangerously plunged into the epicenter of the town's long-held hometown secrets.

Story
Welcome to the beautiful, bucolic village of Pudding Corner, where there's death amongst the dahlias . . . Daphne Brewster has gladly swapped south London for Pudding Corner, a Norfolk hamlet full of quintessentially English charm. With a mix of stone cottages, Georgian architecture, and Victorian Gothic houses all nestled together and surrounded by fields of gold and green, Pudding Corner and its neighboring village of Pepperbridge seem as far from the bustle of city living as one can get.

Story
When my beer kegs turn up missing days before a big event, I hire Monsters, PI to track down my beer. Who's assigned to my case? Tuvid, the gargoyle who wrongfully accused me of gnome-theft. Tuvid's seven feet of gargoyle muscles with a killer smile. So, when our not-one-night-stand results in a marriage proposal—solely to save his gargoyle rep—I know I'm in trouble. My business plans don't include marrying a gargoyle, but Tuvid's impossible to resist.
