Summary
Ellie has an ailing sister to care for, and working as a ghost hunter who doesn't believe in ghosts helps cover the bills for both of them. When she's lucky, it also pays for the occasional tropical vacation. Her brother doesn't exactly approve, but Ellie figures she's providing a service. On her latest job, though, she may be in for some genuine scares.

The skeptical, reserved, and very rich Nicholas Hartford III has flown her all the way to his family's ancestral estate in England-supposedly haunted by a phantom named Xavier. Nicholas thinks it's all just as much a crock as Ellie's business is, but the fact remains that something is causing the flashes of light, mysterious accidents, and other apparent pranks in the chilly, eerie castle. His mother is sure that Xavier is real, and he's willing to employ Ellie if she can get to the bottom of it and put a stop to the nonsense.

While the food and accommodations are somewhat disappointing (IKEA furniture? Really?), Ellie is finding it an adventure to get to know this eccentric family and their houseguests, and to poke around in the nearby village for clues. But when an actual dead body appears-and subsequently disappears-at Castle Hartford, she'll have to apply her talent for trickery and psychological insight to solve a flesh-and-blood murder.

I loved this book! It was interesting all the way through. Like the other reviewer, I hadn’t guessed the ending either. I definitely will be reading another from the series.

This book was shockingly super engaging. i think it was definitely meant to set the tone for future installments but yes the mystery was meh but the characters were so intriguing! A fraudulent psychic solving murder mysteries is a job I always wanted lol reminds me of the show Psych!

Imho a good story, but to me felt very superficial and rushed. I’m trying to put my finger on it, there seemed little development of the characters to care about them.

A fantastic murder mystery with ghosts and intrigue. I didn’t guess the ending! The narrator is great but with a slightly dubious British accent. Would definitely recommend this book it was so much fun and bjrjlljant if you love an Agatha Christie, Sherlock Holmes or Jonathan Creek style mystery.
