When Tabitha Black, a popular painter, encourages her best friend and cousin, Courtney Spencer, to attend the reading of her uncle’s will, she doesn’t realize that they are walking into a ghostly maze of homicidal practical jokes, angry heirs and murder, most wicked.
When Courtney and Tabitha arrive at Mathews Manor, they find that the rest of the heirs have received snide letters from Courtney, who was unconscious in the hospital when the letters were posted. As more heirs gather, the weather deteriorates, and Courtney and Tabitha find themselves isolated with squabbling family members whose hatred for each other is mutual. Before the blizzard ends, murder walks the halls of Mathews Manor.
Handsome, hunky Chief Inspector London of Scotland Yard is recuperating from a drug-bust gone bad when he is called in by the Chief Constable but he mysteriously collapses and is ordered to the hospital by his doctor. When the constables he leaves behind to protect the heirs disappear, Tabitha reluctantly must put away her paint brush and get out her magnifying glass before Courtney’s sixteen-year-old cousin is framed for a murder that she may not have committed.
When Scotland Yard sends Chief Inspector Parker to replace London, Tabitha thinks he will solve the case quickly but he is more hindrance than help when he arrests three people for the same murder at the same time.
She knows the motive (greed), and the means (kitchen hardware), but she just can’t figure out the opportunity. The murderer can travel around the house without being seen, as quietly and secretly as a ghost. It isn’t until the family ghost shows the way that Tabitha discovers how the murderer can always have an alibi
The Ghost Shows the Way is the first book in the Ghost Haven Murder Mysteries. If you want a quick, fun, quirky mystery that you can’t solve in the first fifteen pages, buy The Ghost Shows the Way and plan on staying up all night to find out who-dun-it.
Tabitha Black is ecstatic. The man of her dreams, Charles London, Scotland Yard’s best Detective Inspector, needs her to drive him to Ghost Haven so he can recuperate from a bullet to the head. Her mind imagines witty conversations and maybe a stolen kiss or two. On the drive down he makes it very clear that he wishes she wasn’t driving him. Later at Ghost Haven when he collapses from his head wound, Tabitha is forced to approve emergency surgery as a pretend cousin without authority or let him die.
Meanwhile, London’s team is receiving clues to a murder that hasn’t happened--yet. Clues that could lead to London’s death. When Tabitha starts receiving the clues, she realizes that the killer is keeping tabs on London. As the clues mount, London’s team and Tabitha must keep London in the dark about the case (doctor’s orders), keep the murderer from killing them off one by one, and figure out who behind the most complicated case London or his team has ever faced.
Finally, Tabitha must make another hard decision. Does she solve the case, saving the victim, and letting London die. Or does she save the victim and let London die.
Can she beat the killer at his own game to save the man she loves, his team, and a slim chance of romance?
The Ghost Sends a Clue is an exciting mystery that pits Tabitha against a killer without a conscience, without principles, without scruples.

The Ghost Danced the Nutcracker
Tabitha Black isn’t having the Christmas Season she’s dreamed of. Hired by a wealthy philanthropist to paint six larger than life pictures of the Diva Ballerinas in his ballet company, Tabitha is buried in oil paint, turpentine and the flu when the diva of all divas ends up dead in her studio.
Her nemesis, DCI Parker from Scotland Yard catches the case. Convinced that Tabitha is guilty before he even views the body, he forbids her going to Ghost Haven for Christmas. To make matters worse, someone is trying to kill her. But in Tabitha’s mind, that problem is secondary to the fact that this same person is trying to destroy her paintings. This makes Tabitha see red—blood red, not Christmas red.
Then her normally friendly ghost starts haunting her, not only in her dreams, but when she’s awake. Tabitha’s not sure if the ghost wants to help keep her alive or if she would prefer the other alternative—Tabitha’s death.
Finally, the man of her dreams gets engaged to a wealthy, beautiful, snobby socialite who despises Tabitha and all her friends. Is life going to get better or worse for Tabitha? Can she save her Christmas, her job, her future?
