Ghost hunter Lisa "Garrie" McGarrity is ready to retire from the world of the "Dearly Departed" and settle into a quiet normal life when she is pulled back into the fray by a half-human bounty hunter named Trevarr, who both intrigues and annoys her. Before Garrie quite knows what has happened, she and her crew of ghost hunters have packed up and are on their way to the famous Winchester Mystery House in San Jose, California.

While she was still living, Sarah Winchester kept her house under constant construction in an effort to appease whatever restless spirits might hold a grudge against her and her family. The house is a maze of rooms. Sarah frequently switched bedrooms to confuse the ghosts she was sure were stalking her.

For all Garrie can tell, Sarah's efforts were all for nothing. The Winchester house is currently a hotbed for restless and unhappy ghosts. Garrie needs to find out what has disturbed the dead and to what end. With the capable and sexy Trevarr at her side, the job shouldn't be anything she can't handle. Before the case is finally put to bed, Garrie comes to the realization she should have trusted her instincts and opted for early retirement rather than the more permanent retirement the Winchester House is offering.

A delightful beginning to a new series. Funny and lively with a memorable cast of characters. The Winchester House is the perfect backdrop for this engaging tale.

But when inexplicable, deadly events rock the city to its core, they're forced to help the mysterious Trevarr...secrets and all.
