Book excerpt: Spiritual medium Emma Whitecastle knows a good ghost when she feels one—like her own sweet Granny Apples, long gone but still as famous for her apple pies as she is for helping her great-great-great-granddaughter get to the core of the most baffling mysteries... When Emma gets word of a sticky spirit problem in Las Vegas, she and the ghost of Granny Apples hit the road for Sin City. The spooked one is Dolly, a former showgirl. Dolly is haunted by Lenny, a dead Vegas hood worried about an aging mobster named Nemo coming after the leggy old bombshell. Dolly’s playing dumb, but Emma’s making a blind bet that she knows more about Nemo than she admits. When Nemo is found dead, Dolly goes missing—and lands herself on a short list of suspects. Emma, Granny, and their pals comb Las Vegas to find her, only to discover the truth behind a casino heist gone bad, a hidden stash of stolen loot, and a missing wise guy who’s not letting death come between him and setting things straight. And Emma and Granny Apples aren’t about to fold until they save Dolly’s neck and put her past to rest. Praise for the Ghost of Granny Apples Mysteries “Officially proves the vivacious Jaffarian is the literary heir apparent to Lucille Ball!...A rollicking good time...refreshing, enthralling, and absolutely scrumptious! Jaffarian blends...an eclectic mix of laugh-out-loud fun, heart-touching moments, whimsy, and rapid-fire page turning...[Jaffarian]...deserves a standing ovation.” —The Book Resort

When a ghost-hunting gig lands in her lap, the skeptic sees it as a chance to pay her bills while debunking what she’s sure is just another scam. Except, her handsome and broody co-worker doesn’t fit the con-artist mold. The more she digs, the more her doubts grow, especially after enlisting her reporter friend for a public exposé. The ghosts of his past refuse to stay buried—literally. Zack Liller has learned the hard way to guard his secrets, confiding in few about his unique talents. Little by little, Bree’s infectious energy chips away at his defenses, making him wonder if he can trust her with more than the job—perhaps even with his heart. Just when he’s ready to take that chance, their investigation at the haunted B&B takes a dark turn, revealing one of the most maliciously active sites he’s ever encountered. And if they don’t risk their emotions, they might gamble with their lives.
