Forty-two-year-old librarian Dawn Keen is officially done with her cheating ex, city life, and pretending she’s not falling apart. She trades concrete and chaos for the small town of Bannon Mills, where she plans to spend her days shelving books and helping people. No dating. No drama. Just peace, quiet, and maybe the occasional cup of tea that’s still hot. But the ghosts inside the historic Red Oaks Library have other ideas.
When a Banshee begins wailing in the stacks and a long-forgotten mystery stirs in the halls of Red Oaks, Dawn is pulled into the tragic past of Moira Quinn—a young woman who disappeared without a trace. Armed with nothing more than her amazing librarian skills, a few extra pounds around her middle, and her quick wit, Dawn and her oddly unhinged assistant librarian follow ghostly clues to uncover Moira’s story. But when she dives headfirst into the deep history of Bannon Mills, Dawn is forced to face her own past.
Ethan Callahan, the emotionally guarded handyman helping to keep the library from falling apart, is everything Dawn should want but can’t quite reach. Then there’s Charles Rennick, the gentlemanly ghost who haunts the library and understands her in ways no man ever has. Torn between the warmth of the living and the lingering pull of the dead, Dawn must navigate a decades-old mystery and the tangled threads of her own heart. And somewhere within it all, a restless spirit is still waiting for justice.
Librarian Dawn Keen is finally settling into life at Red Oaks Library, and November in Bannon Mills brings a new challenge when the library launches its first annual cookbook contest. Soon, recipes and family stories are pouring in, and Dawn is surrounded by exactly the kind of small-town chaos she is learning to love. There is only one problem. A strange heartbeat is thudding through the library, and whatever is causing it has no intention of staying quiet.
Dawn’s life goes sideways again as she teeters between a romance she swore she didn’t want and another she can never have. And to make matters worse, the haunting escalates into a bizarre series of supernatural riddles and eerie clues that may reveal a terrible secret with the power to upend the community and expose one of their own.
Armed with her librarian instincts, Mae’s questionable wisdom, Ethan’s steady support, Charles’s ghostly protection, and a growing suspicion that the dead are every bit as stubborn as the living, Dawn searches for answers. But the closer she gets to the truth, the more complicated the story becomes. With Thanksgiving closing in and a determined spirit demanding justice, Dawn must unravel the mystery before a killer walks free.
Cocoa, Clues, and Cadavers
Hearts, Haints, and Haikus
As Dawn works to follow the clues, she can’t ignore the rising tension between Ethan and Charles, or her own uncertainty about the man she’s beginning to care for and the ghost she’s drawn to. Their unspoken rivalry and her own doubt complicate every step she takes.
With Mae cheering her on, Ethan watching her back, and Charles guiding her from the shadows, Dawn must uncover a secret that someone went to great lengths to hide all while trying to hold the library together and help the new spirit before it’s too late.
Unfortunately, the dead have other plans.
After a shocking murder rocks Red Oaks, cryptic haikus begin appearing around the library, strange disturbances interrupt the festivities, and the victim’s ghost seems determined to expose the truth. As Dawn follows the ghostly clues, she discovers that everyone seems to have something to hide, and there’s no shortage of suspects. Figuring out who had reason to kill is only half the battle, and discovering the truth could put Dawn directly in the murderer’s sights.
Luck, Liars, and Library Cards
Myths, Mediums, and Mayhem
But when a local man mysteriously disappears, Dawn finds herself caught up in another mystery. Strange shadows appear among the shelves, cryptic messages turn up in unexpected places, and an angry spirit seems determined to get her attention. At first, Dawn wonders if her imagination is getting the better of her, and her friends think she might be borrowing trouble. But when the haunting turns violent, she discovers just how dangerous the dead can be.
The Leprechaun Hunt is approaching fast, and Dawn is running out of time to uncover suspicious behavior, buried secrets, and decades of deception that could change everything the people of Bannon Mills thought they knew about their town’s history.
But when the Flower Queen contestants begin experiencing strange and frightening encounters, the festivities take a sinister turn. Ghostly apparitions, unexplained disturbances, and a series of increasingly dangerous accidents have Dawn convinced that something supernatural is interfering with the competition. And with Olivia among the contestants, she has every reason to worry.
Determined to protect her friend, Dawn digs into the festival’s past and uncovers a decades-old tragedy involving jealousy and betrayal. But the closer she gets to understanding the haunting, the more dangerous the competition becomes. With the parade approaching, Dawn must find a way to stop the supernatural attacks before someone pays the ultimate price.
