A Haunted House. A Grumpy Ghost Chef. A Mystery That Could Leave Her Cooked.

Moving into a haunted house was supposed to solve middle-school teacher Gwen Flewellyn’s problems, not add new ones. Widowed, broke, and determined to keep her son safe, Gwen thought she could handle Hexen House’s resident spirits until a furious ghost chef starts throwing knives. The poltergeist critiques her cooking, mocks her groceries, and is more concerned with cuisine than helping Gwen catch his murderer.

When her son ends up in the ER, she realizes the only way to make her kitchen safe again is to find the killer. As she dives into old grudges over failed restaurants and small town schemes, Gwen risks losing her teaching license, custody of her son, or worse.

With a pinch of humor, a dash of danger, and a ghost full of opinions, Gwen must untangle the cold case before the ghost'''s kitchen tantrums ruin her life. Because in Hexen House, the dead don’t rest until the truth is served.
