Clearing House

Written by Imogen Markwell-Tweed

Narrated by Sara Brink

Annette Shaw — Anna, to her friends — wants to get as far away from California and her ex-wife as possible. She's making a new start in Connecticut as a real-estate agent, and once she sells her first house, she'll know everything's going to turn out okay. The only problem is, local tradition says the old mansion is haunted, and absolutely no one will even come look at it. Desperate, Anna hires a ghost hunter to prove that there's nothing there.

Killian is a paranormal investigator, (not a "ghost hunter," thank you very much) but he doesn't actually see ghosts. His purpose is to help the bereaved say what they need to say and find peace after the death of a loved one, and if that involves pretending to talk to spirits, well, he'll do it. He wants to give others the closure he never found after his own parents died young.

When Killian and Anna hold an overnight vigil together at the old house, they find more than they expected to, but the truths revealed are not about dead spirits, but about each other.

Imogen Maxwell-Tweed comes across as an amatuer writer. Will not try her again.
