Forty-something single mother Cara Shelley is very content running the Happy Huffkin café in the grounds of a quirky stately home. But her daily routine is shaken up by the arrival of a guest at Tanton Towers: the flamboyant Lady Izzy, who has plans for an extremely peculiar celebration . . . and wants Cara to cater for it.

Ten years ago, Lady Izzy’s nephew, the former chair of the local ghost society, died after a ghost hunt in the Towers’ spooky subterranean grotto. Now, she plans to commemorate his life – and death – with a fresh hunt in the very same place.

But the morning after the event, Cara makes a horrifying discovery in the network of caves. Unless spirits can kill, there’s a murderer in their midst! Soon, the Towers is full of police, including the handsome but annoying DCI Andrew Mitchem. Can the irrepressible Cara keep her feelings in check and catch a cunning killer before she becomes the grotto’s next ghost?
