  Despite his prosaic appearance and generally practical walk of life, Father Brown was not without a certain streak of romance in his composition, though he generally kept his daydreams to himself, as many children do.

He took a childish pleasure, as a younger brother might, in the formidable sword-stick which Flambeau always flung as he walked, and which now stood upright beside his tall mug of Munich. Nay, in his sleepy irresponsibility, he even found himself eyeing the knobbed and clumsy head of his own shabby umbrella, with some faint memories of the ogre's club in a coloured toy-book. But he never composed anything in the form of fiction, unless it be the tale that follows:

  Next time you rent a house, make sure you're the only occupant. 
   
   
   
  If it wasn't for a flamboyant, self-absorbed ghost occupying Katie Aubrey's rental house, the thirtysomething former business tech turned charcuterie chef would be able to concentrate on her new sandwich shop and catering business. But as luck would have it, former food critic and septuagenarian Edith Ellory will not let go. Not until she convinces Katie to find out who killed her. 
   
   
   
  In spite of a coroner's report stating Edith had died peacefully in her sleep, her apparition insists she was murdered. Not only that but she's convinced she knows who did the dastardly deed. Vowing not to give Katie, or her laidback beagle a moment's peace, Edith takes them on a wild goose chase through all the restaurants that received scalding reviews from her. 
   
   
   
  If Katie ever expects to have her new charcuterie business up and running, she'll have to do more than arrange cured meats and cheeses. The real killer is closer than she thinks, and no amount of culinary design sense will prevent her from the same fate as Edith's.
