Where the Haunted Walk
(2026)(Book 18 in the Haunted Tour Guide Mystery series)
A novel by Rose Betancourt
By day, Ripley Van Raden is the unassuming head librarian of a historic town library in Devil's Moon, Kentucky. She's guardian of rare books, dusty archives, and the occasional misplaced bookmark. By night, she leads haunted walking tours through cobblestone streets, spinning ghost stories and recounting centuries-old mysteries… until the dead start getting a little too chatty.
When a body is discovered in the library basement, Rip finds herself caught between skeptical townsfolk, a suspicious detective (who happens to be the love of her life), and spirits who insist they know exactly what happened. As whispers echo through the stacks and secrets buried for generations claw their way to the surface, Rip must decide whether she’s willing to listen to the dead… and risk becoming their next cautionary tale.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
