Dead serious

by Susannah Stacey

As the second most haunted village in Kent, Biddinghurst does not have to wait 'til Hallowe'en to have a Haunted House at its fête. But when two villagers are found dead in one day, the visiting ghost-hunter finds that these new murders are taking local attention away from historic hauntings. Who is the ghostly girl in the garden of the Old Rectory? Who are the real victims of which crimes? Join Superintendent Bone and Inspector Locker as they work to solve these mysteries, while Grizel and Cha go house-hunting and their two cats settle their domestic differences.
