    About this ebook

    Expert home stager Bailey Burke has come to terms with the fact that her friend, Ryan, is a ghost, but she thought after they solved his murder together, he would get sucked into the light. Instead he’s hanging around and interfering in her love life, and mocking her inability to drink Jameson.

    When a body is found near her historic neighborhood of Ohio City, mimicking the famous Torso Murders, and she starts hearing voices, Bailey thinks she’s really lost it now. Ryan’s ghost is one thing, but a whole gaggle of undead talking to her? No thanks. But Ryan informs Bailey she’s not nuts…she is a spiritual medium. And with him as middleman between the victims and the police, they can give the dead justice and he will finally get his one-way ticket to heaven. Considering Eliot Ness allegedly went to his grave bitter that it was the one case he couldn’t solve, Bailey doesn’t see how an uptight lightweight like herself can handle the modern equivalent. But now that Ryan has scared off every man she’s tried to date, including his former partner Marner, she has Saturday nights free for murder-mystery solving.

    Yet dealing with the dead is more difficult than de-cluttering a hoarder’s house. Bailey finds herself pulled in all directions… and possibly conned by a killer.

    Editor's Note

    USA Today Bestselling Author...

    “Silence of the Ghost,” the second in McCarthy’s “Murder by Design” series, finds the heroine still interacting with the ghost of her departed best friend. She’s solved his murder (in “Gone with the Ghost”), and expected he would have found peace. Not so fast; not only is he still around, but it turns out she can hear other ghosts too. She’s now tasked with solving another murder, and she has to navigate that, dealing with skeptical police, her ghost friend, and her lack of a social life (due to all the ghosts). It’s a zany mash-up of chick lit and cozy.
