‘Atherton is simply a wonderful writer’ – The Cleveland Plain Dealer

When Lori Shepherd’s husband, Bill, is summoned to the reading of a will at the Earl of Harrisford’s grand Palladian home, she jumps at the chance to join him. But none of the Harrisford clan could have possibly predicted the scandal that would ensue as the contents of the will are revealed. What starts as a sombre occasion quickly devolves into full-blown family dispute.

Burning topiaries, threatening notes, suspicious maids, and family intrigue lead Lori to seek her ghostly Aunt Dimity’s help in identifying the person responsible. For it’s clear they mean business, and if they’re not found soon, the consequences could be deadly…
