The Death of a Maven

From bestselling author Kathryn Johnson, a new fast-paced mystery series with a paranormal twist and a heroine as lovable as she is brave. On the anniversary of her husband's death, all Verity Cade wants is a quiet night in with her besties. The next morning, she's shocked when the body of one of their group is discovered at the bottom of an abandoned quarry. Although the sheriff rules it a suicide, Verity is sure her friend couldn't have killed herself. Determined to uncover the truth and give the grieving family closure, she scours the victim's journals and discovers a web of lies and secrets. Meanwhile, her struggling Vermont farm has a new complication: two ghosts—former owners from two centuries ago—who can't pass on. With help from her living and not-so-living friends, Verity must solve a murder no one else believes happened … before the killer strikes again.
