Remains to be Seen (Paperback or Softback)

Selena Watt has found a house that speaks to her—literally.

A year after experiencing the inexplicable behaviour of Rafferty House, Selena isn't really surprised when the infamous McFadyen property sends a feeling of sorrow to her while she's touring it. What she's not expecting, however, is to learn from her new friend Curt Wakefield that the angry ghost of its original owner is hanging around the local museum.

Nor does Selena expect her real estate agent to be found dead on the steps of the very house she now wants to buy.

Presented with another real-life murder mystery, Selena is eager to dive in, but is immediately roadblocked by the police and, according to Curt, the belligerent spirit of Gertrude McFadyen.

Curt has done his best to keep secret his ability to see and talk to ghosts, but the truth has a way of making itself known—and there are far more ghosts in Groverton looking for release than he realized. Untangling the sordid background of the McFadyens only raises more questions, leading Selena and her friends from one mystery to another.

A century of muddled history, four unsolved murders, and one ghost whisperer. Can a quartet of amateur sleuths find answers when a long dead spirit seems to be holding all the cards and won't take no for an answer?
