About this listen
Veteran paranormal investigator Maureen Keslyn never asked for life to be easy - for her, nothing is more invigorating than hunting down and ending a dangerous paranormal adversary. Fortunately, life at Shadow Valley Manor tends to be a little more...interesting...than the experience at your average retirement community.
Right now, though, even she has to admit that things are getting out of hand. The bizarre murder of one of her elderly residents is only the beginning. How is she supposed to focus on tracking down the killer when there’s a spider loving middle-schooler underfoot? Worse, she’s acquired an unwelcome roommate - an elderly woman with dementia and a penchant for walking through walls.
Maureen is ever resourceful, but the death count keeps rising despite her best efforts and the help of her team. With the life of a child hanging in the balance, Maureen is forced to take extraordinary measures - but will they be enough?

As she gets to know the residents and staff of the Bartholomew, Jules finds herself drawn to fellow apartment sitter Ingrid.

Uttered by the abusive father of a nine-year-old girl, that phrase ended Jack’s career as a police negotiator and has been haunting him ever since. Now that he is a struggling private detective, those words return with a vengeance when he inherits a mansion - and some terrifying information. Apparently Jack’s soul was sold at birth, and a devil will come to claim it on his thirty-third birthday just weeks away. It’s a hard pill to swallow, given that Jack doesn’t believe in hell (heaven, either).

Awesome series
This is book 3 in the Shadow Valley Manor Mystery series. The first thing that drew me to this series was the audio covers or original book covers. They are beautiful and intriguing. After listening to the first 2 in the series I was excited to listen to book 3. The narrators voice seemed a little different in book 3, but none the less the story, the characters and the overall mystery of the book was wonderful.

Creepy Good Fun
The further adventures of Maureen and her oddball collection of paranormal investigators is a pleasure romp through the bizarre. It’s definitely not high-brow literature. It’s just fun - good, creepy, fun - and that’s all I ever ask of a story.
I hope we get more in this series.
