Book description
Fun and a little hard work. That s all Tess Haviland had in mind when
Ike Grantham paid her for her graphic design work with the run-down,
nineteenth-century carriage house on Boston s North Shore. Then Ike
disappeared, and now Tess finds herself with much more than a simple
weekend project to get her out of the city. It s not just the rumors
that the carriage house is haunted--it s the neighbors: six-year-old
Dolly Thorne, her reclusive baby-sitter, Harley Beckett...and especially
Dolly s father, Andrew Thorne, who has his own ideas about why Tess has
turned up next door. But when Tess discovers a human skeleton in her
dirt cellar, she begins to ask questions about the history of the
carriage house, the untimely death of Andrew s wife...and Ike s
disappearance. Questions a desperate killer wants to silence before the
truth reveals that someone got away with murder. Fun and a little hard
