Amateur-detective Stories

Holly Winslow is missing. Her parents insist she's a runaway, mixed up with the wrong crowd. But P.I.'s daughter, Noa Drury, isn't buying it. She's had a 'visitor' who has suggested otherwise: Holly's ghost. 16-year-old Noa has a 'gift' - the ability to see and speak to spirits. Her job is to pass on messages to the living from the spirit world, and while there are plenty of people who'd rather she kept quiet, this is one message she is determined to see delivered. You see, Noa's been waiting for a message from a very special person and if figuring out the mystery of Holly Winslow's disappearance means making it happen then she'll do whatever it takes, no matter the danger, no matter the trouble she gets into with her spirit guide, Max, and no matter the threat to her own life.

This is a serialized story with a new part every few days. When do you stop being a child? When do you have the courage and maturity to say no to your mother's request for help with a knotty situation? Millie MacDonald is caught in a family drama when her aunt's bridge partner dies and the aunt insists it was murder. She is lured away from her peaceful (more or less) life in Blue Pond, a tiny Prince Edward Island fishing village, by a sense of duty to help her parents calm down her bossy old aunt. There is no strong language or graphic violence. But there are some nasty people who smile and murder when you least expect it.
