  • Psychic librarian Ophelia Jensen has an exciting life––solving supernatural mysteries with her Grandmother Abby and her adopted teenage daughter, Tink, who also happens to be a medium. But, all Ophelia really wants is to create some normalcy and routine.

    When Ophelia’s elderly Great–Aunt Dot comes to Summerset, Iowa, for a visit and is out from the watchful eye of her older sister, Dot is determined to find a little fun and excitement, too. The gruesome murder of a funeral director in a neighboring town gives her just that. She’s heard stories of Ophelia and Abby’s adventures and she wants one of her own, but Ophelia is dead set against it. She’s had enough murder and mayhem, thank you very much, but her spry great–aunt has other ideas. And it seems that even the Fates are conspiring against Ophelia, when Tink starts dreaming of ghastly ghosts imploring her for help Ophelia knows that there is another adventure about to unravel.
