Plot Occupied: DOA Book 1

What if the only witness to a murder is the victim?

Groundskeeper Ewan Mourning can see ghosts. He’s spent six years pretending he can’t. But when Gerald Pitts — three weeks dead from a lawnmower “accident” — shows up demanding Ewan prove it was murder, six years of carefully maintained denial comes crashing down.

The police called it an accident. The family moved on. But the dead don’t lie about how they died. And this one won’t leave until Ewan uncovers the truth about a blade guard that didn’t fail by chance, a will changed six weeks too early, and a business partner with thirty years’ worth of reasons for revenge.

Armed with public records, terrible coffee, and a Victorian ghost who’s appointed herself his life coach, Ewan races to build a case he can never take credit for — because how do you explain that your source is the victim himself?

The first in a darkly witty mystery series where the dead have been waiting for someone who can finally hear them. And Ewan Mourning is about to discover he’s exactly the person they’ve been looking for.
