Book Description:
Joslyn Faust passed away in 1940, after
losing all but one of her children to death. The Weatherby Mills
history books paint her as a kind, generous woman, willing to lend a
hand to any one of her neighbors. Weatherby Mills lore,
however, blames her ghost for the deaths of at least four men.
That’s where
Delilah Isles and Milly West come in.
Working for the New England Spirit Society, the women
have seen many violent and cruel attacks by human spirits and
non-human entities. After all, the most violent and disturbing cases
come to them. They know the myths about Joslyn Faust, so when the
case comes their way they are both anxious to start investigating and
uncertain whether or not it’s a case for N.E.S.S. But the first
time they set foot on the Faust property that uncertainty is
vanquished, because Joslyn Faust turns out to be a whole lot darker
than they anticipated.
Short Excerpt:
Delilah
Isles was certain of two things: pork roast in the slow cooker was
the best in cold weather, and the woman in her kitchen was dead.
The
elderly woman, around seventy-five or eighty with a slim build,
lifted the cover of the slow cooker, leaned slightly forward, and
inhaled. Her gray hair was in a neat bun and she wore a long
lemon-yellow sleeveless nightgown from the nineteen forties. The
woman smiled as she inhaled again, closing her eyes.
Delilah
hated to interrupt, but it was eleven thirty, and she was tired. She
could see, sense, and speak to the dead—amongst other abilities—but
she never would have known this ghost was in her house if she had not
been awake. The woman was quiet, calm. Benign.
Delilah
cleared her throat, hoping not to startle the woman. The gray-haired
lady motioned with her free hand but took her time looking back at
Delilah, taking a last inhale and putting the cover back on the slow
cooker. When their gazes finally met, the lady’s light blue eyes
struck Delilah—they were much like her own.
“Hello
there, dear,” the lady said. “Did I interrupt your sleep? I hope
I haven’t…”
Delilah
smiled and walked closer to the woman. “No, I was just getting
ready for bed. I’m going somewhere tomorrow.”
“Oh,
good! That I didn’t wake you, I mean. I was being very careful to
be quiet.” She waved a hand at the slow cooker. “My husband used
to cook all the food. He loved to cook, my Nathan.”
Delilah
laughed softly. “My name is Delilah Isles.”
