    About this ebook

    A murdered specter. An unwanted suitor. Malice at the Museum.

    Halloween approaches and in the ancient capital of the Fens, Haley Thorpe is working as a costumed actor on a ghost tour. When one of the other 'ghosts' is murdered by a cunning device, suspicion falls on Haley—the only one unobserved at the scene.

    If that wasn't enough, Sean, the guy her parents think she should marry, is turning into a regular stalker. She doesn't want to date him. She's not sure she wants to date anyone at all, but does she have a choice?

    Can she and Rory—her posh house-mate—figure out the real murderer before she gets arrested? And can someone tell Sean that he's not all that before he starts breaking down the door?
