Blurb:
Who knew meeting the in-laws could be this… haunting?
I was all nerves on my way to Chicago, but stumbling upon a lifeless golfer took the jittery feeling to a whole new level. And guess who makes a spectral entrance in front of my future family? Joyce, the golfers’ ghost, of course!
Now my secret ghost-whispering abilities are out in the open, leaving me questioning if I should’ve stayed home. Surprisingly, my soon-to-be in-laws not only believe me but also offer to help solve the case. With a ghost in tow, a murder mystery to unravel, and the pressure of impressing my future family, it’s safe to say my vacation has gone from latte to downright espresso.
Grab a cup of joe, cozy up, and join Audrey Fitzgerald in the next spooktacular installment of the Ghost Detective Mysteries. This paranormal cozy mystery will keep you on the edge of your seat, with a talking cat, a ghostly sidekick, and a murder that needs a shot of justice!
