Anna and the Grumpy Ghost

Anna McGuffin, an aspiring romance novelist, moves to Lockwood Cove seeking a quiet place to write. Instead, she finds herself in a haunted mansion with Richard Lockwood, a 19th-century Scotland Yard detective ghost who wants her gone, and a stray dachshund that won't leave. Anna has kept a lifelong secret: she can see the dead. When ghosthunter Tracy Grace turns up dead, Anna becomes the prime suspect. She strikes a deal with Richard—help her solve the murder, and she'll leave the mansion permanently. As they investigate together, an unexpected connection develops between them through witty banter and lingering looks. Their reluctant partnership begins to feel like something more, complicated by the fact that Richard is a ghost. Anna and the Grumpy Ghost is the first book in the Grumpy Ghost series. Each book presents a fresh mystery with a complete resolution, while Anna and Richard's relationship develops across the series toward an ultimate conclusion.
