An exorcism gone wrong. An unfathomable otherworldly encounter. And a web of corruption only she can stop.
Recently divorced, Quinn has enough on her hands trying to win a culinary contest to put her new cafe on the map. One cordial short of an entry, she doesn't have time to help her new renter exorcise an evil spirit from her house.
And then she finds the woman's body face down in her kitchen.
As Quinn begins to unravel the mystery behind her tenant's murder and her brother's sudden avoidance, she suspects something far more sinister is at play in Bookend Bay.
With her best friend Toni by her side, Quinn discovers murder isn't the only ill deed happening in the small town. She soon fears the truth may destroy the people she loves most.
And just when she thinks her life can't get any stranger, she encounters a look-alike visitor with a shocking allegation that turns both their worlds sideways.
You'll love this paranormal, cozy mystery because the twists and turns will keep you guessing. And because no one expects midlife to be murder.

About the author
Clare Lockhart
42 books59 followersClare Lockhart writes light-hearted, paranormal, cozy mysteries featuring middle-aged sleuths who are going through a few changes. Some are welcome (freedom to live the dream) and some not so much (supernatural abilities and a rash of murders).
If you like reading about best friends who find themselves in the odd pickle, twisty murder plots, and cheeky, paranormal visitors, then you’re in the right place.
Clare lives in a small town, a stone’s throw from Lake Ontario, in Canada, and has recently taken up sailing with her partner John. Sailing has to be one of her most challenging and rewarding life experiences. She loves to read, of course, travel and is a bit of a foodie.
Clare comes by her interest in the paranormal honestly. Her dad loved this stuff, so it was natural for her to believe there was more to our world than we perceive. Therefore, you may find a ghost, a psychic witch, and even a parallel universe in her stories.
She also writes time travel romance under the pen name Sharon Clare.

A gripping murder mystery with a little ghost and paranormal thrown in. Quinn is finding success running her new café after her divorce. Her best friend, Toni, helps her stay grounded. She still has trouble feeling positive with her choices and self-confidence. Lots of surprises, suspense and guessing as the story progresses.
