Paperback. A hotel full of ghosts. A haunting murder. A most unusual investigation. August 1915: Alma Timperley is fully settled in the bustling coastal town of Falmouth with her fiance Alan. In her new role as owner of the extraordinary Timperley Spiritualist Hotel, Alma offers residents the chance to contact the dead - and since the start of the war, the hotel has never been busier. But when a guest is found dead in their bed, talking to ghosts is suddenly the least of Alma's worries. The police are quick to suspect foul play, which can only mean one thing: there is a killer lurking in the hotel's shadows. Time is of the essence, so Alma is recruited by the police to help with their investigation. Can she crack the case, before she finds herself in grave danger? The second unique and spooky read in the Alma Timperley Mystery series! Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
