When Amelia Reed inherits her eccentric aunt's crumbling Victorian hotel, she thinks she's found her escape from city life—until she discovers the place comes with permanent residents of the spectral variety and a mystery that's been brewing for decades. The Last Chance Hotel isn't just a fixer-upper; it's a sanctuary for lost souls and hiding secrets. When a wealthy guest drops dead during the annual Founder's Day celebration, Amelia finds herself playing host to both the living and the dead while trying to solve a murder that echoes a century-old tragedy. With the help of a skeptical handyman, a gossipy cook, and surprisingly helpful ghosts, Amelia must unravel family secrets, decipher cryptic clues, and catch a killer before the hotel's next check-out becomes permanent.
