Okay.

Early in the book, you meet a pair of Puritan lovers.

Then there's a soldier-turned-farmer determined to grow the best apples of the world.

Those apples keep showing up in the pages for centuries.

You get spinster sisters, and it's their ghosts who will come to haunt the property.

And they are accidentally summoned by a charlatan who is conducting a fake seance on

That turns to everyone's surprise, except perhaps the ghosts themselves, very, very real.

There's a pair of star-crossed lovers, a participant in a prison pen pal program.

Not all the characters whose minds we get inside to get their perspective on this house and this place are human.

It's also a book with ghosts.

No investigator to run you through the years like in some of your favorites, but how does that sound to you?

I'm glad to hear it.

I don't know about this next one, but it feels worth mentioning as it is a Jack the Ripper Medusa mashup by Julie Berry.

She was on the podcast, I think, last fall.

And we did talk about this book.

It's called If Looks Could Kill.

Does this sound familiar?
