Murder Charmed
(2026)(The ninth book in the Witching Hour Ghost Hunters Mystery series)
A novel by Kat McGee
For what might be her final case, Marna Langley is making a house call to the afterlife—and the ghost she’s there to see is family.
The Witching Hour Ghost Hunters crew has come to the derelict Heritage Hospital for their most ambitious investigation yet, but for witch and psychic medium Marna Langley, this case is personal. The hospital’s most notorious spirit is her long-lost great aunt, a no-nonsense nurse from the 1950s with a tongue sharp enough to be a surgical tool. When the ghost decides to piggyback in Marna’s consciousness, Marna finds herself armed with a spectral partner offering unsolicited medical advice, wry commentary, and clues to a darkness that has plagued their family for generations.
Lil, Marna’s ever-dramatic feline familiar, is not amused, finding herself in a turf war for the title of Marna’s sassiest supernatural sidekick. Meanwhile, Royce Davenport must navigate a relationship that now includes a ghostly chaperone, all while trying to protect Marna from a hospital that seems actively hostile. The chilling corridors and shadowy operating theaters are hiding more than just memories; they’re hiding a crime.
When a fresh body is discovered in the abandoned morgue, it becomes clear that the hospital's secrets are still worth killing for. The initial ghost's cryptic warnings about a decades-old injustice suddenly connect to a modern-day murderer, one who will stop at nothing to ensure Heritage Hospital never gives up its dead.
In this final, thrilling investigation, Marna must team up with her spectral aunt to unravel a mystery that hits dangerously close to home. She’ll have to face down a killer, settle her family’s oldest score, and decide what a charmed life truly means for her and Royce. If she fails, her family tree will have one less branch, and the Witching Hour will go permanently dark.
