About this book

Life in the quiet town of Franklin is never truly quiet when you are a medium with a talking cat. Erin Bailey has learned that lesson the hard way, but her latest challenge is personal. When her neighbor Derek turns up as a restless ghost haunting his own front porch, Erin is dragged into a web of small-town deceit. With a psychic cat by her side and a murder mystery that points toward a grieving widow, Erin must navigate a labyrinth of secrets to find the truth before the killer strikes again.

This installment of the Erin Bailey series perfectly captures the charm of the cozy paranormal genre. It masterfully balances laugh-out-loud humor with genuine suspense, featuring a lovable cast of characters who prove that the afterlife is never the end of the story. Readers will be captivated by the forced-proximity tension that keeps Erin close to her allies, as well as the subtle, lingering notes of a haunted-romance that add emotional depth to the investigation.

Whether you are a fan of witty animal companions or heartfelt mysteries, this book delivers a refreshing blend of Southern charm and supernatural intrigue. It is an ideal pick for those who enjoy stories where faith, friendship, and a little bit of magic collide to solve the impossible.

Intrigue and fun!

March 15, 2026

This is a terrific series. The characters , humans and their pets, solve mysteries and keep me laughing. I was surprised when the main character expressed her Christian views on forgiveness and the eternal life after death. Finally an author who doesn't refer to the universe or the big guy upstairs. Thank you! )

Families always have secrets

The third installment brings Erin facing more than she can handle, but with help of her group of problem solvers and her best friend’s mom with a secret of her own, she is able to help another ghost find the light. I truly adore all the characters, I can’t wait for more peek a boo predictions in the next book. )

Another home run

A delightful fun paranormal cozy with all the right elements. A talking smarty pants cat, distressed spirits, relatable characters, laugh out loud moments, a touch of magic and mystery makes this an absolute must read series. )

Excellent

I absolutely couldn't put it down. The whole series was really great. There were a couple of glitches in the beginning of the second book that bothered me, but in the end, it didn't really matter. )
