Kit Schofield is leaving her position as head of Schofield Pharmaceuticals. As an heiress, she feels it's time to move on. The day she leaves the company, someone tries to run her over with their car. Is it a random act of violence? Or is someone trying to kill the rich beauty?
Bart is the son of one of Kit's mother's many husbands. After having grown up together, he is determined to find out who is trying to kill Kit, but his feelings for her are anything but brotherly. He follows her to a family resort as a self-appointed bodyguard.
Unquiet Spirits follows the young couple as they struggle against their feelings for each other and the threats of a clandestine killer. Kit's family reunion turns into more than she anticipated when she comes across the wrath of a jealous aunt and the discovery of a sibling she didn't know she had. Kit must face the fear of being stalked by an unknown killer and reconcile feelings for Bart that go beyond brotherly love in addition to facing ghosts from the past - literally.
I found Unquiet Spirits enchanting and the characters engaging. I devoured it all in one night, anxiously reading to find out who done it and guessing at the possible suspects along every turn. The repartee between Kit and Bart was bright and the ghosts added an element of fun to the mix. As the third in a series, I wasn't sure if I might miss some details having not read the previous books, but this story stands on its own merit. Unquiet Spirits was a fun read which I would recommend.
