  THE DANCER IN THE DARK: Against a black backdrop strewn with stars the silver figure in a
  long, floating dress sang and swirled, the little silk-shod feet mirrored in the polished black floor. Her voice trilled and swooped like an upper-class nightingale, with those odd strangulated vowels so alien to us today.

When a wealthy guest drops dead during the annual Founder's Day celebration, Amelia finds herself playing host to both the living and the dead while trying to solve a murder that echoes a century-old tragedy. With the help of a skeptical handyman, a gossipy cook, and surprisingly helpful ghosts, Amelia must unravel family secrets, decipher cryptic clues, and catch a killer before the hotel's next check-out becomes permanent.

  When Marion Hawthorne arrives at the remote Ravenscroft estate to catalog her late aunt’s belongings, she expects dust and antiques—never whispered secrets or restless spirits. Yet the moment Marion steps into the manor’s shadowed halls, she senses an unseen presence guiding her toward a hidden ritual known as “the flitting.” As she uncovers cryptic journals and deciphers an ancient lullaby, Marion confronts memories of a vanished childhood friend and the legacy of grief that binds the living to the dead. With every creaking floorboard and flicker of candlelight, Marion’s pragmatic quest transforms into a mission of liberation: to compose a counter‐melody that will guide trapped souls home. Narrated with haunting atmosphere and emotional depth, The Flitting immerses listeners in a tale where gothic suspense and purposeful action converge. Each spectral encounter and small triumph—charting archives by candlelight, gathering villagers to revive a long‐forgotten song, facing down a haunted mirror in a subterranean crypt—illuminates how focused courage and collaborative resolve can turn fear into meaningful progress. By weaving family lore, investigative rigor, and musical ritual into one tapestry, this audiobook inspires listeners to face their own hidden pasts, embrace uncertainty, and transform haunting mysteries into catalysts for growth.
