How do you solve the murder of a ghost with dementia?
When Emily Curtis helps a donor move into Stoneybrook Acres Retirement Village, she encounters a new ghost. The poor man isn't just suffering from death, he's burdened with dementia. That must be why he keeps insisting his name is Frederick Wilmott, a resident of the home who's still very much alive.
With her new pal fluttering around her, Emily must solve a decade's old mystery if she's to sleep without a male ghost staring at her every night. The problem is, with no name or clues to go on, she doesn't have an idea of where to start. Even her not-so-psychic friend Crystal is stumped.
What a terrible time for an old friend from her past to visit. With Mrs Pettigrew on hand to offer her distinct brand of barbed comments, Emily's task just got a dozen times harder.

With family remaining close-lipped and old employees keeping secrets, it'll take more than Emily's newfound ability to talk to the dead to solve the crime.

The ghost of a witch meets a witch of a ghost!
While attending an auction, ghost-seer Emily Curtis can't resist purchasing an old puzzle box. She gets more than she bargained for when she finds the ghost of a witch attached.

If only the book containing the release spell hadn't gone missing, the task would be easy. But with numerous Pinetar residents vying for the same prize, it will take all of Emily's wits to find the book and recite the magic spell before time runs out.
