Retiree Ivy Beasley, a college student? Interested in penning her memoirs, Ivy decides to take a creative writing course. But itโs hard to find time to put pen to paper when this current chapter is so full of lies, jealousy and murder.
Rumors are flying around the village of Barrington about Mrs. Winchen Blatch, a reclusive widow living alone in her old farmhouse. In the past few weeks, the widow claims she has been tormented by ghostly visitations, so she hires Ivy and her fellow investigators at Enquire Within to get to the bottom of the mystery. Ivyโs new classes are very close to the widowโs farmhouse, perfect for combining studying and snooping.
With each new clueโa dark chamber, a smoking cigar and an amorous lodgerโit becomes harder to separate fact from fiction. And when the ghost is revealed to be flesh and blood, the lonely widow may be in more trouble than Ivy and her team can handle.
