The Gazebo Ghost Murder: A Paranormal Cozy Mystery with a Talking Cat, Haunted Antique Shop, and Locked-Room Murder

A dead man, a locked Gazebo, and a Haunted Shop full of secrets.

Daphne Cole arrives in Elderberry Harbor to inherit her aunt’s antique shop—only to find it comes with a talking cat, a resident ghost, and a murder that points straight at her.

When local appraiser Gordon Pell is found dead inside a locked gazebo with one of her music boxes on his chest, suspicion spreads fast—and Daphne becomes the town’s favorite suspect.

With Finn Calder, a sharp-eyed journalist, and Della Brewster, a café owner who knows everyone’s business, Daphne uncovers a web of forged antiques, buried records, and secrets her aunt died investigating. Suspects tighten the Hank Hallowell, the powerful Historical Society chairman; Deputy Rusk, the officer controlling the case; and Maribel Sloane, an antique dealer who profits from silence.

But as the truth surfaces, one thing becomes
This wasn’t just a murder - it was a setup. And she might be next.
