Publisher Description
Local best-seller Charlotte Reade is back with another food and music filled mystery. As Charlotte prepares for the biggest red carpet premiere of her career, Hurricane Isaac prepares to make landfall. Hoping to find answers to her own family mystery and the chandelier that moves on its own, Charlotte looks into the apparent haunting of a tour guide’s house.
After eighteen years of showbiz life in Los Angeles, Charlotte is becoming a local in her family home of New Orleans – even joining a Mardi Gras parade dance krewe. When she catches a tour guide telling the story of the eerie chandelier hanging in her Garden District window, Charlotte’s quest for answers about its origins leads her to Robert, a guide whose house is suddenly haunted.
A sceptic of the supernatural, Robert doesn’t want to believe the activity is linked to a Mason jar of marbles recently returned to him after he’d left the heirloom at his family’s grave site. Charlotte tours historic cemeteries and tracks the story of “The Curse of the Lonely Boy” while looking for people who might want to fake a haunting.
Charlotte and her beau celebrate her big break playing one of the “7 Sisters” in the latest Clarence Pool movie, a film destined for awards and box office success. But will the premiere even happen with Hurricane Isaac growing?
