From New York Times bestselling
author Sheila Connolly, Abby Kimball returns in a new mystery with her
unusual ability to see the dead and even more secrets from the past.
Looking to take a break from busy home renovations, Abby and boyfriend Ned Newhall jump at the chance to vacation on Cape Cod. Not only do they plan to get away from the dust and grime, but since Abby has no known ancestors in the area, the trip promises to be free of the unsettling ghostly appearances that have darkened her recent days.
Dreams of a relaxing vacation are soon dashed, however, when a storm blows in and brings with it a scene from the past more disturbing than any Abby has ever experienced. The long-dead woman who appears to Abby is someone she’s met before, but this time her presence defies any explanation at all.
Determined to unravel the mystery of the woman’s recurring appearances, Abby follows a trail of family history and upheaval that spans generations and may yield the biggest revelation of all, not just about Abby’s ancestors but about her living relatives as well.

I received this book in exchange for an honest review. I admit that I
have not read the other books in this series but I really didn't need
to. You can follow this series very quickly either way. I love Sheila
Connolly books and am very surprised that I've missed this series. Abby
is fantastic as are all of the other characters. This mystery keeps you
hanging from beginning to end and the paranormal aspect is quite fun. I
hope there will be many more books from this series.
