Ghostly Surprises - O'Connor, K. E.

. .

Résumé :
Santa may be coming to town, but so is revenge. Add a dash of Christmas spite and a ghost, and this holiday season will be one remembered for all the wrong reasons... Lorna Shadow and her loyal side-kick Helen Holiday, take on a last-minute job hosting a Winter Wonderland Gala at Drew House in the beautiful Berkshire countryside. What should have been an easy job to earn some extra Christmas money, turns dark when they're warned of bad luck tainting the family. And when a recent death is discovered, the festive season doesn't seem so bright. Forever the optimists, Lorna and Helen roll up their sleeves and don their Christmas hats. But then the ghost of Lord Albert Drew appears, insisting his recent death was no accident, and they have no choice but to start the search for justice. Throw in a troubled teenager, a secret Helen's determined to keep from Lorna, and a hint of adultery, and Christmas may be over before it's begun. Enjoy this Christmas-packed cozy murder mystery with old favorites Lorna Shadow, Helen, and Flipper the ghost-sensing dog. It's a perfect read to lose yourself in while curled on the couch with a mug of hot chocolate and a plate of festive cookies.
