Meg has lost too many people in her life, but the latest is the hardest: her feisty, beloved grandmother Eloise has died of a mysterious virus. . . and materialized in Meg's closet.

Once Meg gets over the shock of seeing Grams, she finds herself embroiled in a world peopled by the dearly departed who have joined forces to solve the mystery of Eloise's untimely death. Together, this "Ghost Support Group" and Meg race against time before the strange virus claims more victims.

But events take an even more sinister turn when one of Meg's co-workers turns up murdered and a local doctor is attacked and left for dead. In the midst of great peril, Meg and her cohorts try to unwind the tangle of intrigue and, in the process, discover that the entire town is in mortal jeopardy.

The Dearly Departed Series of cozy mysteries follows four sisters as they make unexpected discoveries about their town, their family, and themselves. Set in the small Colorado town of Elk City, the series is a delightful romp through the mysteries of love, loss, and life.
