A Spirited Swindler

Midlife is Murder, Book 1

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?

not for me

The characters and story fell flat. The plot didn't appeal to me. I lost interest and returned it.
