From Publishers Weekly
This disjointed debut dabbles in the paranormal, probing the social life--and underground tunnels--linking the shops and houses in a Pennsylvania hamlet. After losing her newspaper job, spunky Tori Miracle, a New York City writer, accepts an invitation to visit her former college roommate in Lickin Creek, Pa. She learns that Alice-Ann is planning to divorce Richard, her philandering husband whose ancestors founded the town and who is this year's recipient of the annual Rose Rent, a tribute paid by the three religious congregations to the founder's current heirs. But before the celebration, and after a seance meant to determine the whereabouts of a legendary blue diamond, Richard's murdered body is discovered, a rose decorating his chest. Then a prominent judge's body is also found, a second rose in his hand. Meanwhile, Tori makes friends with the heirs of another of Lickin Creek's first families and the local police chief. When Alice-Ann becomes prime suspect in the murder investigation, Tori must find the real murderer to save her friend. What she discovers in her search is a machine for talking to spirits invented by Thomas Edison and a jumbled mass of motives for the killings. The elements never quite mesh in this high-spirited effort.

Product Description
Lickin Creek, Pennsylvania, is light-years from New York City, where Tori Miracle earned her first fifteen minutes of fame as a novelist. Now Tori and her two cats have come to Lickin Creek to visit her friend Alice-Ann--and to attend the town's annual Rose Rent festival honoring Alice-Ann's obnoxious husband, Richard. Generations earlier, Richard's ancestor, worried about the state of his soul, allowed churches to build on his land in exchange for one red rose as rent. Now the town has made it an annual celebration. But Alice-Ann is celebrating something else: She's about to divorce Richard--until Richard turns up dead, his body adorned by a single red rose.
Now Tori is being pulled into a homicide investigation spearheaded by an unnervingly handsome cop, crowded with aristocrats, wanna-bes, and some ghostly presences of the past. In fact, all of Lickin Creek, from its historic castle to its labyrinth of Civil War-era tunnels, is haunted by secrets, including the one that won't stay dead and buried--and hasn't stopped killing yet. . . .
