Summary

After a two-day train journey, peripatetic dressmaker Jemima Flowerday makes the final approach to her new job on foot, following the canal to Castle Gloaming, which stands in the rugged North Wales countryside overlooking the foaming River Dee.
Jemima has come to clothe Mrs Cornelia van Doorn, a wealthy South African widow who has leased the castle from its impoverished aristocratic owner, intending to launch herself and her young stepdaughter, Honor, into London society. But on her arrival she's told she's actually been summoned to investigate the disappearance of the girl. Even in a place still haunted by mystery and magic, the seventeen-year-old can't have melted into thin air…

    A chance to escape. A haunting surprise. Dragged into a homicide by the spooky victim, can a reluctant sleuth solve the case and set up a fresh start? 
Clara Kelly only wants to be free. Fleeing her abusive husband and holing up in his empty historic Salem, Massachusetts house, she’s shocked to find it already occupied by the ghosts of a sad-eyed Union soldier and cat. And just as the thirty-two-year-old fugitive accepts that the supernatural is real, a deadly car accident out front brings the phantom of the recently deceased to her door claiming he’s been murdered. 
Afraid every moment she lingers will bring more trouble, she tries to ignore his pleas. But after the desperate spirit agrees to aid a puppy in peril in exchange for her help, Clara relents to playing sleuth while looking over her shoulder for the slime who made her marriage a living hell. 
Can she find purpose in parting the veil of possibilities?

    When librarian Maya takes a job at the historic Greywood Library, she expects dusty books and quiet days—not a ghost who leaves cryptic clues in the margins of classic novels. When a body appears in the rare books room, Maya realizes the library's ghost might be trying to solve a murder rather than cause one. With the help of a skeptical historian and the library's charming ghost, Maya must decode the clues before the killer adds her to the library's permanent collection.

A chance encounter leaves him feeling vulnerable once more and he steps up his efforts to discredit and bankrupt the man he holds responsible for the years of struggle he has encountered. 
Notwithstanding the fortune he has amassed and the now comfortable lifestyle he has carved out, the ever-present doubt that his anonymity will be revealed forces him to take extreme measures to exert the just deserts he has waited so long for.

    He knows what she is. She can’t deny her urges any more than she can deny him… 
There’s no walking away from the thrill of the kill. 
No turning your back on who you are at your core. 
At least, that’s what Besnick says. 
Zayah thinks that’s bullshit. 
It’s exactly what she’s determined to do. 
No matter what she’s done with him, she’s intent on starting a new life and proving she’s better than her past, better than what he insists she is. 
Yet small-town living and “normal” life is harder than Zayah ever imagined. 
The monotony… 
The boredom… 
The people… 
The urges that won’t go away… 
Zayah needs a distraction…or two. 
Her friend Nova offers her an outlet for some of her desires. 
A mystery man from the internet does for others… 
But nothing can quell the most base of her needs. 
No one knows who she really is at her core. 
And she has no idea what’s hiding behind the mask….
