The first book in the Hesitant Mediums series
It it a truth universally acknowledged that father knows best, even after death, and especially about one's suitors.
For fans of Manners & Monsters, Scales & Sensibility, and Half a Soul
Resigned to spinsterhood in her English manor house, Mary Trentwood is horrified when her father's ghost crawls from his grave, and struggles as he spouts opinion after opinion about the most mundane things.
Mistaking the newly-arrived and quietly handsome Alexander Hartwell as her father's solicitor—for who else would interrupt her mourning?—Mary soon realizes her father is adding matchmaking to his repertoire. Neither Mary nor her father realize Hartwell hunts a blackmailer, and shouldn't waste time seeking Mary's smiles...
Haunting Miss Trentwood is a cozy Victorian fantasy featuring sweet romance, found family, and ridiculous comedy-of-manners fun.
