Emily is a newspaper reporter who sets out to investigate a senator's interest in the paranormal and ends up attending a seance with him. As a result, she unwittingly taking home the ghost of a wrongly executed man named Fergus who demands that she use her powers of the press to prove his innocence and clear his name - a century after the fact! As Fergus hilariously becomes acquainted with modern life (especially television!) , he and Emily begin to develop deep feelings towards each other, seriously complicating her blossoming romantic relationship with the senator she set out to investigate! This book has it all - humor, romance, a great sense of local flavor (action takes place around Boston and in Martha's Vineyard), history, mystery, the paranormal and more. My only complaint? That Fergus is such an interesting and appealing character that he makes Emily's wealthy, handsome young senator look like a wimp in comparison, although that's where the sexual tension comes from. On the whole, an excellen read. I couldn't put it down.

I am still reading this but I want to let everyone know what a great book this is! It is a romance and a ghost story--two of my favorite things--and laugh-out-loud funny in places. It is something a bit different as it crosses genres.

This was my first Stockenberg and WOW! The story kept me anxious to turn the next page and see what came next. The plot was good, the characters excellent.

I read this book many years ago, and I'm tickled to see she's brought it out in ebook format. I remember enjoying this story very much and highly recommend it!

This was a great book. It took a few pages to get into it, but once I did I couldn't put it down. It's funny, sweet and sad.
