Muddled in the Middle

Haunted houses, paranormal pursuits, and now hot flashes? Someone, get this woman a drink. Connie Keys is ready to move on. After decades spent catering to her family, the fifty-something widow has an empty nest and a new career pairing compatible residents with haunted houses. Happily putting the feather duster away forever, she spends her days chatting up ghosts ... until her neglected vacuum cleaner sucks her attention back home with a cryptic warning of grave danger. Almost certain the crop circles in the carpet are nothing more than her ghostly husband's lame attempt to rekindle their relationship, she sets out to prove she doesn't need help from anyone, especially him - alive or dead. But when a routine property inspection goes awry, the independent spirit-whisperer realizes she may need some supernatural back-up if she is to survive a malevolent poltergeist hell-bent on her demise. Can she uncover the spooky specter's secret before she finds herself reunited with her hubby on the other side? Muddled in the Middle is the fast-paced prequel to the Extra-Ordinary Midlife Mysteries series. If you like heroines reinventing themselves, slightly scary mysteries, and a big dollop of humor, then you'll love Lynn M. Stout's spooky story.
