Cosy mysteries with an improbable friendship, or maybe more, and a twist of the
supernatural
A Ghostly Inheritance
The village of Craithlee on Avon in the glorious Warwickshire countryside is about to welcome the new custodian of Maitland Hall.
The previous few years had been rough on Kelso Maitland. Having weathered a divorce and redundancy, unexpectedly inheriting the run-down Maitland Hall from his great uncle Silas might just give him the purpose he needs.
The honourable Theresa Maitland, nee Craithlee, is a ghost, a spirit, a spectre. She has no idea why but has been in that condition since her demise in the year of our Lord 1808. She is invisible to almost everyone unless she fully manifests, but Theresa refuses to haunt people. It is not her nature to terrify living souls. But now she perceives that her home, her only home, is under threat. It’s time to be scary!
Thrown together, these two will be caught up in circumstances beyond their control, with events that first threaten helpless animals on the Maitland estate and then an innocent young woman accused of stealing a valuable early edition of Le Morte D’Arthur.
From such different worlds, will they learn to live together, and can they find a way to work together to save their new friend?

Ghostly Conundrums
Kelso Maitland has a conundrum or three!
The new custodian of Maitland Hall has fallen for Theresa, the Hall’s ghostly inhabitant, but he is scared of alienating Theresa if he expresses his feelings. Feelings he has no idea if she might reciprocate.
Kelso can at least forge ahead with becoming part of his new village community but then he comes across the dead body of local Councillor, Brian Loveley. And when the police discover that Lovely was attempting to blackmail Kelso, a new Detective Sargeant decides that Kel is their prime suspect.
Theresa and Kel need to find the real murderer before Kel is jailed leaving Theresa alone in the Hall once more. A fear that only drives home to Kelso that a longer-term solution is needed to ensure that Theresa is never left alone again!
Then there is also the problem of what do you buy a ghost as a Christmas present?
