When a ghost story turns deadly, only Mildred can separate fact from fright.

On Halloween night, the charming town of Mermaid Springs gathers for its most anticipated tradition: a spooky radio broadcast by "The Voice of the Night," Dusk Tillman. But the fun turns to real-life horror when the ghost story is interrupted by a scuffle, a cry, and the unmistakable sound of murder.


While the rest of the town thinks it's part of the show, journalist-turned-sleuth Mildred Lancaster dives into a real-time investigation. To unmask a modern killer, she must first unravel the decades-old tragedy Dusk was about to expose—a heartbreaking story of forbidden love, family secrets, and a fatal mistake at the infamous Blackwater Trestle.

As Mildred confronts suspects still haunted by their youth, she discovers that the most dangerous ghosts are the ones that have been hiding in plain sight. A gripping whodunit with vintage charm, A Splash of Haunting proves that some secrets refuse to stay buried.

Curl up with a Halloween whodunit you won’t forget.
