Quietly exploring her newfound abilities and reinventing her life, she discovers fifty is the new forty ... and there's nothing quiet about it. Connie thought last year was full of surprises. Her husband passed away only to have his spirit attach to a taxidermy beaver named Brodie. The moratorium on her family for practicing witchcraft and other psychic arts was lifted. She began seeing and communicating with ghosts. And in a unique career move, she accepted a position at a real estate agency matching haunted houses with informed buyers. Now, what was supposed to be a relaxing, business-related getaway at a quaint bed and breakfast has turned deadly. When the owner suddenly dies, Connie is stunned to find a will that was created years ago. Despite having never met before, the owner left the house, and her cat, to Connie. After an 800-mile move, she finds herself playing referee to a pair of squabbling ghost siblings, while a grumpy spirit leads her on a search for a killer who strikes close to home. All with Brodie the Beaver tagging along. It seems secrets aren't the only things buried in the basement.
