When celebrity chef Sebastian LeClair suddenly retires to this quaint mountain town, the locals are thrilled – until he drops dead after tasting a pumpkin pie at the Great Harvest Pie Showdown. Worse yet, the poisoned pie came from Sol Conceptions Bakery, owned by Holly’s best friend Juliet.

As a Paranormal Private Investigator with a talent for communicating with spirits, Holly is used to unusual cases. But with Juliet’s bakery losing customers and the police gathering evidence, she’ll need more than her ghost-whispering abilities to solve this murder. At least she has help: Clara, her 145-year-old ghostly roommate; Mystery, a sarcastic ghost cat; and Wendy, her witchy best friend who owns the local bookstore.

The problem? Sebastian LeClair had a gift for making enemies, leaving Holly with a menu of suspects longer than the hotel’s wine list. And someone isn’t happy about her investigation, warning her to back off – or else.

Between occasionally tending bar at the historic Red Castle Hotel, where the murder took place, dodging threats, and trying to keep her growing attraction to the surly-but-handsome Sheriff Mack professional, Holly must uncover the truth before the killer serves up another deadly surprise.

A deliciously charming paranormal cozy mystery that proves revenge is a dish best served cold – with a slice of pumpkin pie on the side.
