Summary

The story unfolds in the town of Ravenwood, which is haunted by a recurring fog that appears every fifty years, bringing with it terror and disappearances. The fog is not just a natural phenomenon but a manifestation of an ancient pact made between the town's founders and a forgotten god. This pact demands a sacrifice every fifty years to maintain the town's prosperity and protection.
 
The story is marked by a series of discoveries, including hidden cellars, ancient artifacts, and diaries that reveal the cult's history and their manipulation of the town. The characters' investigations lead them to understand that the fog is a carefully orchestrated ritual, a gateway to the ancient entity that demands sacrifices.
 
The climax of the story involves a confrontation with the cultists and the ancient entity, where the characters use a powerful artifact, a silver locket, to disrupt the ritual and break the cycle. The aftermath sees the town grappling with the physical and emotional scars left by the fog, as they work to rebuild and heal.
 
The story is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, the importance of confronting the past, and the power of unity in the face of unimaginable horror. Ravenwood's journey from terror to recovery is a powerful narrative of hope and renewal, marked by the chilling legacy of the fog and the sacrifices made to protect the town.

    What do you do when skeletons in the family closet come out to play? 
 
 
 
Imogene Lynch, assistant to the head embalmer of Greener Pastures Mortuary, has always longed for family, but her newfound cousin, Chelsea, is a big disappointment. Not only are they complete opposites, but Chelsea needs help with the kind of problem Imogene does her best to avoid—murder. And this one seems impossible to solve since Chelsea doesn't know who the victim is. 
 
 
 
Cursing her big heart and well-developed sense of guilt, Imogene plunges into a mystery more twisted than she could have imagined. Cryptic clues, as confusing as the ghosts who leave them, entangle the cousins, and dark family secrets begin to unravel. Imogene discovers she and Chelsea may have more in common than she'd thought. And that's not a good thing. 
 
 
 
The Lynches have baggage of a supernatural kind. Can Chelsea and Imogene work as a team, solve the crime, and lay the spirits of the past to rest, or will their mismatched psychic abilities lead them into danger? 
 
 
 
If you can imagine Agatha Raisin as a twenty-something, rockabilly, ex-hairstylist with a weird connection to the dead, this book is for you.
