Once again Abby Kimbal is seeing spirits/apparitions, this time in Cape Cod with Ellie in tow. Abby and Ned are helping out Leslie while her husband is in the hospital, so Ellie is staying with them. They jumped at the chance to stay in Ned's friend's home in Cape Cod for a little vacation. Ellie and Abby are "being tourists" but head home due to a storm heading their way. Once in the house, they begin to see a crying spirit and feel sadness in the house. This sets Abby off on a genealogical search to see who the spirit is, what happened to make them so sad and to investigate the area. With other guests and characters with varying levels of paranormal abilities, Abby takes us on a tour of the area and the history surrounding the house and her ancestors. Ned is not in this book as much as the others, but when he is present, his relationship with Abby is strong and developing, even though she often questions herself about the timing. Ellie is sweet, yet seems to be 10 going on 30 at some times, then a young girl at others. The relationship she and Abby share is interesting and I am looking forward to seeing where it will go in future books.

If you enjoy history and/or genealogy along with a mystery, then this series will entertain you very much. It is not a cozy mystery, but it is a cozy read. I have enjoyed this series for the history aspects.
