Rumors of a ghostly presence haunt Julianne’s Cornish autumn in the series’ charming fourth installment.
What began as a bit of teenage mischief in the village quickly became stories of spooky lights and ghost sightings in the wood. Being sensible, Julianne is more worried about whether she can finish her kids’ costumes in time for the annual Halloween contest—and whether husband Matt and his eager assistants will be selected for the exclusive Brookshire Garden Design Competition. So when everyone in town begins flocking to the local ‘ghost walk’ tours Julianne assures her wide-eyed children it’s just a case of imagination run wild...until she experiences her own brush with the supernatural, that is.
Real or imagined, Julianne can’t shrug off what she saw, or even bring herself to confide in sympathetic Matt for advice. Best friend Kitty is on hand to help, despite her usual family battles, including that of her cousins’ shady new scheme to profit from the town’s ghost mania. But even Julianne’s friends can’t fully understand her need to find a solution this time, one that leads her on a quirky quest from local lore, to meetings with the village’s ragtag paranormal club, and even a creepy abandoned cottage hiding secrets in the woods.
Join Julianne for suspense, surprises, and (of course) heartfelt moments as book four in the series brings an autumn like no other to sleepy Ceffylgwyn.

Review
Julianne's life finally feels like it's settling into a comfortable, if very full, rhythm. Halloween is just around the corner, so she is ready to ignore the local ghost stories and concentrate on sewing costumes for her kids. It gets a little bit more difficult after her own spooky encounter, one that has her searching for answers in all the creepiest places.
A cosy tale full of family and feelings, this is a lovely read with an air of mystery. Julianne doesn't really have time to investigate but finds herself doing so anyway, and I can certainly relate to her curiosity! I'm definitely interested to see where her story goes next.
I always enjoy stories set in a small town with an eclectic cast of characters and this fits the bill perfectly. There are quite a few to keep track of (only natural, given this is the fourth book in the series) but their interactions give this community a real warmth.
This is an enjoyable read that I would recommend to fans of small town stories.
