Crazy Aunt Charlotte is missing—again. But this time, Blair knows better than to check Charlotte's usual haunts—the Veterans of Foreign Wars lodge, the Four H Club, or the bins behind Milton's Fish Shop. Charlotte is dead. Blair found her body buried among the dusty boxes in the library's basement. Or so she thought. When Blair returns with the police, Charlotte's body is gone. Determined to prove she's not imagining things—and that her aunt really was murdered—Blair finds herself entangled with a former lover, an unsettlingly handsome stranger, and Rose Arbor's eccentric residents. At first, she tries to ignore the prickling sensation of being watched. But as minor disturbances escalate into real danger, Blair must confront the forces—real or imagined—that once drove her aunt to madness, and may now be coming for her, in the library.
