She saved Carraigfaire—but can she save her friends?
Gethsemane Brown fought off an attack by a sleazy hotel developer who wanted to turn her Irish cottage into a tourist trap. Now she must face a vengeful ghost determined to exact revenge for her murder centuries ago.
This ghost’s wrath spares no one—not Gethsemane’s students, Inspector Niall O’Reilly, fellow teacher Frankie Grennan, or a group of ghost hunters descended on Dunmullach to capture proof ghosts exist.
Proof Gethsemane has to quash to keep Eamon, her resident ghost and friend, from becoming an internet sensation.
As if a spiteful specter wasn’t bad enough, a crooked music reviewer turns up dead in the opera house orchestra pit, a famous composer is arrested for the crime, and Gethsemane must team up with a notorious true-crime author to clear his name.
If she doesn’t, friends will die, a ghost she cares about will never know peace, and she’ll star in a final act gruesome enough for any opera.
Gethsemene should be able to relax after the stress she has gone through recently, but nothing is ever that straight forward! Her landlord has another money making scheme and this involves a group of TV ghost hunters coming to search for Eamon (if they get proof her and Eamon's life/afterlife will never be the same), one of the team has a fascination with a creepy story from Eastern Europe and she is really happy (in a macabre way) to find out that a local composer has written an opera about it. Apparently the ghost in this tale has serious vengeance issues and will kill first born sons and anyone who tries to make money out of her death.
This would all be well and good, only Maga isn't just a tale, she is a real, very vengeful spirit and before long boys from her class, Frankie (the maths teacher), Niall (the Garda Inspector) and Hardy (one of the TV team) are laid up with an unexplained, very nasty disease. Oh and add in the fact that there has been a murder (granted the corpse was an unpleasant so and so but even HE didn't deserve that!) and the composer of the opera Aed is suspect number 1!
Now Gethsemene has a house guest and partner in seeking out the truth of the crime, and she needs Eamon's help to get rid of the spirit, the downside is it may take him down as well.
