Spirits and Whine

Anastasia Livanitis doesn't believe in ghosts. Then she meets one who believes in her.

Two months on Lifnos. That was the plan. Run Agistri, the family taverna, while her dad recovers from hip surgery, serve the grilled feta, and get back to her real life in Athens.

That lasted about a week...

A billionaire's daughter turns up dead after a very public argument with Anastasia—and worse, Anastasia can still see her. Frieda Baron in death is what she was in life: loud, opinionated, and famous for it—except she can't remember who killed her. A dream sidekick, obviously.

Most locals already think her family dabbles in the dark arts. The charming new sergeant thinks she's hiding something. And icing on the cake? Frieda's ruthless father wants an arrest, not the truth—and he's rich enough to get one.

The deeper Anastasia digs, the clearer it gets: someone here would rather she end up like Frieda.

Can she crack the case under the hot Greek sun? Or will she continue the family tradition of being blamed for everything that goes wrong on Lifnos?

Read this if you love a reluctant sleuth, a ghost who won't stop backseat-detecting, a slow-burn with the local sergeant, and a Greek island full of secrets.Anastasia Livanitis doesn't believe in ghosts. Then she meets one who believes in her.
