Synopsis

The luxurious Lathrop Grand Hotel is a Savannah institution that has entertained guests for more than a century and a half, offering some of the finest accommodations in the city. Famously haunted, the hotel draws tourists from around the world eager to encounter its numerous ghosts. The hotel is also known for being honeycombed with hidden doors and secret passages, enabling staff to appear and disappear quickly as they attend to the hotel's guests.

Now some of the spirits in the Lathrop Grand have turned violent, even murderous. Ellie and Stacey must determine which ghost has become dangerous and remove it from the hotel before it can claim any more lives. They soon learn the hotel has secrets even darker than the notorious string of nineteenth-century murders that made it famous, and the powerful entities inhabiting it don't intend to leave without a fight.

Goodreads review by Abbie on September 15, 2015

(I received a copy from the author, In exchange for an honest review.) Ellie and Stacey continued to be likable characters. They're brave, work well together, and they can be pretty funny at times!

Goodreads review by Sandy on February 04, 2021

I think each book in this series gets better and better. This was definitely on the spookier side. Lots of scary, angry ghosts like, Stabby Abby, a Rasputin-like man, a bayonet-for-a-hand Civil War soldier. And poor Ellie, Stacy, and Jacob. They got a beating like no other in this book. I'm so glad......more
