Murdered Husband’s “Ghost” Taunts Murder-Suspect Wife
Elle finds the body of her soon-to-be-ex-husband, Charlie, on her sofa, stabbed to death with her kitchen knife. Elle’s close friends stand by her through the difficult funeral, but Elle must face the loss of the man she had loved. Except that the loss is not total—Charlie is still around. Elle feels his presence, smells his aftershave, hears him accuse her of killing him. And even though she doesn’t believe in ghosts, she argues with him, asserting her innocence. Oddly, Elle has a gap in her memory; she can’t account for her activity during the time of his murder.
As she tries to clear herself by finding out how Charlie died, she discovers that she had plenty of reasons to kill him. Charlie had secrets: Infidelity. Unsavory business associates. Involvement with an international organization of sex abusers. The more she learns, the more danger she faces. As unscrupulous people begin to fear she will expose them, Elle races against time to avoid arrest, fight off attackers, solve the murder, and make peace with Charlie’s spirit.
Merry Jones is the author of the Harper Jennings thrillers and the Zoe Hayes mysteries. She has also written humor and non-fiction. She is a graduate of Cornell University and the University of Pennsylvania, and lives outside of Philadelphia.
