From Little Stack

During a bout of consumption in late 19th-century England, Leighanna had one foot in the grave. Now the young woman is once again among the living and determined to solve the murder of a local socialite. Things take a ghastly turn when Leighanna attends a ball and the dead girl’s ghost appears to request her help. But can she sniff out the killer without putting her own fragile life at risk?

If you’re as drawn to Victorian England as I am, this book and its gothic vibes will grab you and not let go.

Publisher Description

She can see ghosts, but can she catch a killer?

Stornshire, England - 1890

Leighanna Pauley barely escaped consumption. Now, she's claimed by both Life and Death. Fascinated by justice and why she survived when so many others haven't, she has a new obsession: the murder of a fellow socialite. But the police have no leads.

The investigation emboldens Leighanna to attend the first ball held at the Carmine Estate. When midnight strikes, the unimaginable takes place. Time stops for everyone but Leighanna. Before her stands the ghost of the dead girl, pleading with Leighanna to catch her killer before someone else is murdered.

In a race against time, Leighanna hunts for clues across Stornshire. Will she be able to solve the case before the murderer strikes again, or will she become just another forgotten victim?
