1881. Frances Chard is as sensible as she is beautiful. She does not believe in ghosts or curses, but when she became governess at Broome Court, she meets people who believed in both.

The new Lord Broome was a soldier who had recently been wounded in South Africa. Returning to his native land, he was attacked, robbed, and brought back to the Court to die. His family quarrelled over his will, and he was neglected by his servants. It was hinted to Frances that Lord Broome had murdered his mistress the last time he had been home, and that the sooner he died the better. Yet when chance took Frances to the sickroom, she found much to puzzle her. Was Lord Broome really the villain he was made out to be? Or was he the victim of a plot to rob him of his good name, his fortune and his life …?

As Frances strives to get nearer to the truth, she begins to fear that her life might be in grave danger too …

Wagtail, Virginia, the top pet-friendly getaway in the United States, is gearing up for a howling good Halloween — until a spooky murder shakes the town to its core …

Holly Miller doesn't believe in spirits, but the Sugar Maple Inn is filled with guests who do. The TV series in development, Apparition Apprehenders, has descended on Wagtail's annual Halloween festivities to investigate supernatural local legends, and Holly has her hands full showing the ghost hunters a scary-fun time.

But the frights turn real when Holly's Jack Russell, Trixie, and kitten, Twinkletoes, find a young woman drowned in the Wagtail Springs Hotel's bathhouse — the spot of the town's most infamous haunting. The crime scene is eerily similar to the creepy legend, convincing Holly that the death wasn't just accidental. Now she'll have to race to catch a flesh-and-blood killer — before someone else in town gives up the ghost …

Panicking Ralph is a big-time villain — but he's a local villain — and when his life is threatened, policemen Harpur and Iles are straight on the case …

Detective Chief Superintendent Colin Harpur and his boss, Assistant Chief Constable Desmond Iles, worry about the safety of one of the big-time crooks on their ground, Ralph Ember, sometimes known as Panicking Ralph. Yes, Ralph is a villain, but he's a local villain, and Harpur and Iles feel a kind of bizarre affection for him. And in any case, Ralph helps Iles keep the city reasonably peaceful. But now some awkward repercussions from Ralph's lawless past seem to bring danger.

Ralph is aware of this new peril and has installed a bulletproof steel barrier to protect himself in the club he owns — but will this be enough to keep him safe? Harpur thinks not. Surely the upcoming party at the club will provide the perfect moment for a gunman to do for Ralph? The only way Harpur can be sure of protecting Ralph is to attend the party himself …
