Patricia “Tish” Amble does not like to have moss growing under her feet.  She buys houses that are in need of a ton of tender loving care. This time she has chosen a Victorian house in a small town in Michigan.  This house is really going to challenge her imagination.   

When Tish discovers a body in the basement no one believes her.  No one but her seems to see the body.  She can not seem to get a contractor to come remove the body.  She also seems to have men problems: her neighbors, one from England, the computer expert, the other one the handsome local cop.  They are tripping over themselves to impress her.  When she is a suspect in the murder, she is fearful her own secrets will come back to haunt her. 

I found this to be an impressive start to a new series from a new author.  The gothic in this novel is brought to a new level, fresh and new for today’s market.  There are two other books planned for Tish and her adventures.  This is worth waiting for.
