Kara loves reading Gothic mysteries. When her friend invites her to GRAYHAVEN for the summer, she is excited -- except Marcy is in trouble. Kara's gothic ghosts lead her to murder, an artist who wants to paint her, and a wolf-dog who becomes her friend. Erin Parker's grandmother left her a BOX OF SECRETS to be opened on her 25th birthday. Before that day arrives, she is accused of murder in her classroom and attempts on her life and that of her cat, Ginger. She hopes she is not too late when she opens the box of secrets.
