発行者による作品情報
An up-and-coming ghostbuster and her motley crew tackle a devilish high-wire act, aided (or more often, interrupted) by her rakish ex and the sarcastic reporter she can't seem to shake—from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Crazy Spooky Love.
Maplemead Castle is crawling with ghosts, and the new owners need them gone. When Melody Bittersweet and the Girls’ Ghostbusting Agency arrive on scene, they quickly identify the main troublemaker swinging from the chandeliers. A century ago, stunning trapeze artist Britannia Lovell plunged to her death in the castle's grand ballroom, and has continued to haunt it ever since. But did she really just fall, or was there something more to her demise?
Forced to work with Leo Dark, her scoundrel ex, and the infuriating, irresistible reporter Fletcher Gunn, Melody’s investigative powers are under the strain of a heart pulled in two directions. She needs her team in top form, but her best friend Marina’s cake pipeline goes AWOL, her assistant Artie’s distracted by a giant sausage roll, and the pug Lestat is scared witless by a lion. Melody has her work cut out for her.
Somewhere, hidden in the castle, is a heart-breaking secret, but what will it take to find it? And is there a chance it could set Britannia free, or is she doomed to repeat her last fateful act forever?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Silver follows up Crazy Spooky Love with another adorable outing for British medium Melanie Bittersweet. Melanie may head up the Ghostbusting Girls' Agency, but she's not exactly thrilled to have spirits "hassling the hell" out of her any time she ventures into an older building. When an American couple buys the haunted Maplemead Castle over the internet, Melanie and her team are called in to ghost-bust—but so is their biggest competitor, TV ghost hunter Leo Dark, who happens to be Melanie's ex. Also poking around is skeptical local reporter Fletcher Gunn, who definitely has a thing for Melanie. She must juggle her relationships with both men while getting to know the resident ghosts, among them Britannia, a trapeze artist who died in the home a century ago; Britannia's circus performing suitors Dino and Bohemia, who are still ready to fight to the death for her hand; and a lovely older couple, Lord Alistair Shilling and his bride, Eleanor, who are content to simply play cards and hang around their old home. Silver's sparkling prose brings the leads to vivid life and the endearing spectral supporting cast adds to the charm. Coming just in time for Halloween, this cozy paranormal romp is sure to hit the spot.
