Mystery House #16
A Sprite Christmas
This holiday spirit doesn’t want peace on Earth—just his gold.
When Sue persuades her husband to purchase a sprawling Victorian estate outside Branson, Missouri—rumored to conceal the lost treasure of Civil War bushwhacker Alf Bolin—she expects a festive renovation project.
She does not expect a body in the upstairs bedroom.
Nor does she expect the woods below the house to whisper.
As Ellen, Sue, and Tanya prepare to restore the 1918 mansion over the Christmas holidays, they quickly discover the haunting isn’t harmless.
A volatile sprite stalks the halls, guards the surrounding Murder Rocks, and makes one thing terrifyingly
The treasure stays buried.
What begins as mischievous interference—flickering lights, vanishing tools, phantom voices—escalates into something far darker. A decades-old legend, a modern-day murder, and the restless dead converge as Ghost Healers, Inc. races to uncover the truth before the spirit’s warnings turn deadly.
But some ghosts don’t want redemption.
Some want retribution.
And this Christmas, the line between treasure hunt and tragedy is razor thin.
The books in this series can be read in any order.

Great read if you love history, mystery and friendship
Eva is an amazing author. Her stories come to life through the relationship of 3 good friends who find that they are good at ghost hunting
I've read all of her "The Mystery House Series" some in 1 day's time. This book hit home for me. I help kids with their high school classes and we just finished a 1/2 year Civil War course so I was extra fascinated by this story. I'd love to share more but I'm not going to ruin it for you. Eva always surprises me and leaves me guessing what's going to happen in each chapter. Her twists and turns and side characters who we meet and come back in other stories. I want you to read all of her books you won't be disappointed. I can't wait for Book 17 I even pre-ordered it that's how much I love this series.

Good story. Good Historical info
This was unexpectedly my favorite in a long time. The story was poignant in some ways. I especially like these these mature, active and smart characters. Bring on the next one Eva Pohler!

Visiting the ladies of Mystery house series is like visiting old friends who are always up for adventure on the supernatural side. I have enjoyed this series and I have enjoyed seeing the character growth for each of the ladies.
For this installment I was whisked away to Branson, Missouri I was immediately hooked into this new historical adventure. Sue has just purchased a historical home where she believes gold is stashed. Sue and the ladies will find a lot more than just gold. They will discover and research more about the previous home owners and follow their stories of what was happening in the civil war. I found that to be very engaging and really enjoyed that part of the story. The paranormal elements are always fun for me and I was hooked till the very end.
A very special thanks to the author for the gifted copy.
