Wow! What a great book. I am so happy to have fallen into this this book and can't wait to get into the rest of the series. This follows the story of Gethsemane, a musician who is looking for her big break of sorts. Only to find herself in a small town in Ireland, broke, and in a haunted house. 

While she has so many things to juggle, one including being a teacher; she is dedicated to helping a ghost who is living her house find out who killed him. I found the pace in the book to be perfectly matched. I didn't feel rushed and I didn't feel like they were sections that the author could have expanded on. 

I felt that influence of Agatha Christie, Nancy Drew, and others in this story. I am so happy that this book is a series. I am interested to see if the school boys will get bigger roles in the upcoming books.
