About this listen

Ghostly whispers, shocking secrets, and a Pomeranian on the loose …

England, 1941: Evie Harris doesn’t believe in ghosts—not even when she spots a glowing figure outside her bedroom window in the quiet village of Crofter’s Green. But when the same eerie spectre is seen by Lord Hawthorne, tied to a long-buried family scandal, even Evie starts to wonder if the past is haunting Hawthorne Manor.

Before she can investigate, Lord Hawthorne is found dead at the bottom of his grand staircase. An accident? Not likely. When the glowing figure begins tormenting Lady Gwendolyn, Evie rallies the Homefront Sleuths to unravel the manor’s secrets.

As the sleuths dig deeper, the twists keep coming:

  • A furious daughter returns for the reading of the will.
  • Priceless antiques vanish from the estate.
  • And Lady Gwendolyn’s strange behavior hints at dangers far beyond ghostly hauntings.

With hidden passageways, family feuds, and wartime schemes at every turn, the sleuths must race to uncover the truth. Is the danger truly from the dead—or the living?

The Spectre of Hawthorne Manor is a delightfully cozy mystery full of ghostly intrigue, village charm, and sly surprises. Perfect for fans of Agatha Christie and T.E. Kinsey — scroll up and One-click now!
