When veterinarian Ashley Hart learns a haunted hotel will soon open in the old Caswell Manor, a renovated Victorian mansion just outside Aspen Falls, Colorado, she can’t help but wonder what sort of guests the new owners might scare up with their ghoulish gimmicks. However, when hoteliers TJ and Carla Lindell bring their adorable whippet, Poppy, to Ashley for a checkup, they also bring her an irresistible offer—to join them on opening night as they reenact the fatal tragedy that befell the Caswells in the late 1800s and set the stage for more than a century of ghostly gossip. 

Ashley and her boyfriend, handsome park ranger Cole Hawke, eagerly attend the gala and tour the tricked-out “haunted” wing of the hotel. They get more than they bargained for, however, when they witness TJ shot dead before their eyes—and it’s definitely not an illusion. As details of the fresh Caswell Manor calamity unfold, Ashley and Cole realize that TJ’s death was no accident, and someone close to him carefully plotted his cold-blooded murder.

Ashley and Cole quickly become embroiled in the investigation and hope they can help authorities get to the bottom of the ghastly crime. Unfortunately, someone at Caswell Manor keeps trying to frighten them off with increasingly sinister deeds. Can Ashley uncover the killer before someone else dies, or will her attempts at solving the case come back to haunt her . . . with deadly consequences?
