Ellie has an ailing sister to care for, and working like a ghost hunter who also doesn’t have confidence in spirits helps cover the expenses for both of these. When she’s lucky, in addition, it pays for the occasional tropical holiday. Her brother doesn’t specifically approve, but Ellie numbers she’s providing a service. On her most recent job, though, she may be in for some real scares.

The skeptical, reserved, and incredibly rich Nicholas Hartford III has flown her completely to his family’s ancestral estate in Britain- about Séances Are for Suckers supposedly haunted with a phantom named Xavier. Nicholas feels it’s all just as much a crock as Ellie’s business can be, but the fact remains that something is usually causing the flashes of light, inexplicable accidents, and additional apparent pranks in the chilly, eerie castle. His mom is definitely sure that Xavier is certainly actual, and he’s willing to make use of Ellie if she will get to the bottom of it and eliminate the nonsense.

While the food and accommodations are somewhat disappointing (IKEA furniture? Really?), Ellie is usually getting it an experience to get to understand this eccentric family and their houseguests, and to poke around in the nearby village for hints. But when a genuine inactive body appears-and eventually disappears-at Castle Hartford, she’ll need to apply her skill for trickery and psychological insight to solve a flesh-and-blood murder.
