About this listen

"The coffee's strong, the books are dusty, and the ghosts are chatty." That's Linny Crane's motto for The Curious Case, his Ebonreach Bay cafe and discreet side-hustle as the town's resident supernatural troubleshooter. But when beloved handyman Frankie Jo McCrae turns up drowned – a death her very persistent ghost insists was no accident – Linny is pulled into a mystery far darker than his strongest brew.

His unexpected ally? Nora Penrose, a sharp, new-in-town journalist whose own secrets are as intriguing as the town's unsettling past. As spectral warnings clash with very real dangers, Linny and Nora must decipher cryptic clues left by the dead and uncover a vanished fortune tied to an infamous decades-old bank robbery.

But with a killer willing to eliminate anyone who gets too close, and the lines between charming partner and mysterious new arrival blurring, Linny has to decide if he can truly trust the woman a ghost warned him about before Ebonreach Bay's secrets claim them both.
