We love a good murder mystery, and Elle Andrews Patt delivers in Ghost, a modern southern gothic meets sleuthing procedural novel.

About Ghost:

Yesterday, her BFF didn’t believe her. She’d give anything for it to be yesterday again.

When archivist Andrea Kelley scores a sweet rental in Charleston, WV, she discovers it’s already occupied. But the early rising, bacon-loving ghost of six-year-old Billie Mae makes for a tolerable roommate—until two missing kids are found dead at a nearby lake.

Detective William Taka is pretty sure his BFF is losing the plot, until Billie Mae throws a haunting hissy fit even the neighbors notice. Taka’s gut tells him the deaths are related—but Billie Mae’s mother confessed to her murder thirteen years ago. The case is closed. And she’s in prison for life.

Driven by Taka’s encouragement and Billie Mae’s phantom fury, Andrea digs into the strange circumstances surrounding the little girl’s death. Using her considerable research skills and workplace connections, she soon discovers a frustrating lack of evidence. Billie Mae’s mother might be innocent.

Which means the real killer is still at large…and way too close to home.
