Whistling up a Ghost
Whistling up a Ghost
Description
Peter and Jenny Rogers return from their honeymoon to a pile of wedding presents including the deed to an old house. They open presents from the residents of Whistling Pines Senior Care Center ranging from thoughtful, to thrift shop purchases, and "what is that?"
Taking a break from the gift opening party, they tune in to a live news broadcast and watch the historical society president open a time capsule found during demolition of the band shell. The opening ceremony turns grim when a rusty pistol and a newspaper clipping about an old murder are revealed.
The Whistling Pines rumor mill runs amok as the retired residents offer up murder motives, stories about the victim's checkered past, and a multitude of potential murderers. Despite his full-time job as Whistling Pines recreation director, Peter gets dragged into the time capsule murder investigation.
Jenny's son, Jeremy, is convinced their new house is haunted when boxes jump from shelves, a radio turns itself on, Christmas stockings appear under the fireplace mantle, wedding gifts rise eerily out of boxes, and ghostly events interrupt their sleep. They start to ask themselves if the house is a gift or a curse...until the ghost is revealed.
Editorial Reviews
Praise for Whistling Pines books
-Reading a Dean Hovey novel is like sitting on a jet during its takeoff run...the further you get into it, the more you know that something neat is about to happen. Goodreads
-I was reading Whistling Wings at the airport and laughing out loud. The person sitting next to me wrote down the title because he'd never seen anyone enjoy a book so thoroughly.
