The Grub-And-Stakers House a Haunt

3.8/5 ( ratings)

Lobelia Falls, Ontario, home of the Grub-and-Stake Gardening and Roving Club, has seen some odd things, but the ghost of murdered mule driver Hiram Jellyby is the weirdest yet. And when he manifests himself in the kitchen of the widow Zilla Trott, demanding that she find both his bones and a cache of buried gold, even imperturbable Sergeant MacVicar's aplomb is blown. Can the Grub-and-Stakers avenge the apparition and uncover the loot without starting a gold rush? Can Arethusa Monk, reigning queen of the roguish Regency romance, survive the suspicious attentions of innkeeper Hedrick Snarf? Most enigmatic of all, why is Snarf wearing purple silk socks? Alisa Craig's great and growing legion of fans have a particularly warm spot in their hearts for the denizens of Lobelia Falls, and this charming, crafty tale of murder and mayhem is sure not to disappoint even one. The Grub-and-Stakers House a Haunt is undoubtedly her most delightful work yet.
