Dead exes don't text... but they can haunt. Newly divorced and one bad week from rock bottom, Everly Dupree comes home to small-town Maine for a fresh start. What she gets instead is a body - her high school ex, murdered in the room next door at the Bide-A-Way Motel - and his very chatty, very dead self, refusing to cross over until she finds his killer. Everly is no detective. She just sank her last dollars into a creaky old house the whole town swears is haunted, took a job working for a boss she can't stand, and somehow became the only person alive who can see - and bicker with - a dead man. Worse, his killer is still out there... and starting to notice her questions. Between her ghost's running commentary, a best friend with the world's worst timing, a prickly widow who becomes an unlikely friend, and a mother she's finally learning to lean on, Everly's fresh start is shaping up to be the most complicated - and the most hers - chapter of her life. If she can't solve the murder, she may never get rid of him. Literally. A snarky, warm-hearted paranormal cozy mystery full of humor, heart, and a heroine just trying her best - the first of a binge-worthy 18-book series set in small-town Maine. Perfect for readers who love:Reluctant ghost-whisperers who never asked for the job Found family and small-town charm Snarky, laugh-out-loud amateur sleuths Atmospheric small-town Maine A long series you can binge for weeks
