Publisher's Synopsis
The seaside community of Tempest welcomes back one of its daughters as Fiona leaves city stress behind and moves into Mortimer House-the family Victorian she inherited.
A sensitive, Fiona loves animals and soon finds herself adopted by a rambunctious mini schnauzer, Lizzie Borden, and an adorable kitten, Henrietta. Together with some old friends, Fiona converts the aged mansion into a boarding house, but not all the guests who come to stay are alive. How does a dead body find its way into a bedroom wall? And will Fiona find her Aunt Mable's missing ferret, Sherlock Holmes? It's only one read away.
