Haunt Pursuit: A Cozy Mystery with a Ghostly Twist (Haunted Everly After Mysteries Book 16)

Everly Dupree is having a good week—until her cousin Nell's side job appraising a late English teacher's private book collection uncovers something unexpected. The books are worth far more than anyone realized, and soon a man turns up dead behind the Marlow Inn, followed by another body closer to home. Everly is accustomed to murder in Mooselick River, but she'd prefer it stay out of her library fundraiser. With a killer still loose and Nell in danger, Everly finds herself navigating a rare books black market, protecting her cousin from repeated threats, and managing input from a crowd of opinionated ghosts—all while trying to keep the fundraiser from falling apart. She must solve the case before the event ends, or the killer escapes. The story combines small-town paranormal mystery elements with found family themes and a protagonist determined to have at least one normal week.
