If you’re looking for a cute and cozy spooky mystery, this is it. 

I loved the Nancy Drew references from the main character and how she worked to embody the character to try and save her aunts. 

The Aunts and other people in the house are eccentric and it’s so endearing watching them do their best to create a spooky fun house and prevent murder. 

And the cats… adorable. Mischievous. 

The whole feel of the book is of a classic spooky house mystery with a dash of romance. Highly recommend adding this to your fall to be read pile!
