Tabby has been able to speak with the dead for as long as she can remember. However, the skill can also be dangerous. As a child, she and her sister fled their aunt who wanted to use their gift to profit from the séance craze in the United States. Through good fortune, Tabby fell under the care of a caretaker for a large Boston Cemetery, Eli. Now older, Tabby is no stranger to life in the cemetery. When she encounters a wealthy young man named Caleb, her quiet world is forever changed. For years, Caleb flirted and spent time gambling, but following the death of his father, he is now responsible for taking on the mantle of his father’s business. A chance encounter between Tabby and Caleb leads to more frequent visits, even as “Resurrection Men” begin to create a series of grave robberies. When Caleb’s fiancé is murdered, he becomes the chief suspect and Tabby is drawn into the realm of a possible scam at the hands of someone out to take Caleb’s family fortune, but the dead won’t stay quiet when there’s justice to be done. It’s up to Tabby to not only save the man who has stolen her heart, but the cemetery she calls home.
If you want communication with the dead, romance, and Resurrection Men, The Orphan of Cemetery Hill is here to entertain you during this spooky season. It’s complete with creepy New England setting and odd goings on. The book is a light, quick read for those who are darkly minded.
The Orphan of Cemetery Hill by Hester Fox is now available from Graydon House.
