Book excerpt: An old mansion, a family curse, and a sarcastic heroine who just wants to sell the place and get on with her life—what could possibly go wrong? Sol Davenport’s life was already a mess. Getting laid off and inheriting a creaky, possibly haunted mansion from her eccentric great-aunt was just the cherry on top. With plans to clean up, sell the property, and hightail it back to normalcy, Sol rolls into the eerie halls of Davenport Manor armed with little more than a suitcase and a healthy dose of sarcasm. But the mansion has other plans. Between shifting rooms, creaky doors, and a parade of snarky ghosts—each with their own agenda—escaping this place isn’t going to be so simple. And then there's the talk of a family curse and a missing moonstone pendant that could be the key to freeing the restless spirits haunting the estate. With the help (and occasional hindrance) of her ghostly relatives, a quirky town historian, and a handsome handyman who seems to know more than he lets on, Sol must dig into her family’s tangled past, confront secrets buried for generations, and, most importantly, survive long enough to uncover the truth. "Moonlight & Mayhem" is the first in The Haunted Inheritance Mysteries, a cozy paranormal mystery series filled with witty banter, quirky characters, and a hint of magic. Will Sol manage to untangle the mystery of the mansion, or will the family curse claim another victim? Find out in this enchanting series starter that mixes spooky chills with small-town charm.
