Introducing The Ladies of SPI Mysteries, a Southern Cozy Series by Catherine C. Hall
Secrets are stirring at Cole House…
The Thanksgiving leftovers have barely cooled when Southeastern Paranormal Investigations get a distress call from Cole House. The young owner, Abby Stafford, needs the Ladies of SPI to track down things that go bump in the night. It could be a prankster. Or it could be–eek!–poltergeists!
Skeptic Ree Lane, pie-baker Elle Harper, techie Gillian Buchanan, and psychic Nora Cooper have a slew of suspects, including an ex-girlfriend and her sleazy son, a neighboring landowner who’s desperate for Abby’s acres, and the prickly caregiver who shows up to pay respects to a recently deceased family member. But there are suspects from the Other Side, too, like the skillful John Cole, who built Cole House, or the beloved grandparents who helped raise Abby, and even Abby’s sorely missed and protective father. With Santa arriving in a few weeks, Abby and her little boy dream of a happy holiday. But something is stirring in Abby’s home, and there will be no peace on earth until the Ladies of SPI uncover the secrets that hide somewhere within Cole House.
SECRETS LAID TO REST
(Book 1)
Fall is in the air, the scent of autumn leaves and apple pies, and now a brand new business is opening its doors in small-town Sutter, Georgia.
But not just any business. It’s the Golden Girls meet the Ghostbusters when four women find themselves in an unlikely career: Southeastern Paranormal Investigations. Ree Lane, a stylish widow, is more cynic than true believer, while her childhood chum Elle Harper has a knack for getting sensitive info with the help of her homemade pies. The preacher’s wife, Betsy Jones, can’t be seen with SPI unless she’s in her disguise as Nora, a psychic-in-training with a gift for Tarot. And the recently-returned-home Gillian Buchanan is a whiz at technology, especially of the supernatural sort.
Their first case lands on the doorstep when neighbor Doris Tucker is sure her prized vintage dolls are haunted. But there’s hardly time for ghost-hunting when the bank director’s wife mistakes SPI for a private eye venture. Now they’re also hot on the trail of a misbehaving husband. It’s a wild ride as the sixty-something sleuths start digging into the past. But have the Ladies of SPI gone too far? And how far will Sutter go to keep its secrets dead and buried?
