Rumors of a local ghost in small-town Geneva cause real distress for mystery novelist, Kelly Clark, at a time when her life is going great. She’s moving on from her troubled past, her books are selling, and she’s newly in love. But when a local dies across the street from Kelly’s apartment in the Geneva History Museum under suspicious circumstances, Nikki, Kelly’s sister, calls upon her to help figure out what happened. Despite Kelly’s reluctance to get involved with the investigation, she and her sister team up to try and solve the mystery. Did a ghost really have a hand in the death or are the sisters allowing a local legend of a haunting skew their judgment? Their paths divided, Nikki focuses on opening a new coffee shop as Kelly is haunted by nightmares and memories from her past. Things get even more complicated as the Clark sisters face an unexpected pregnancy, a surprise proposal, and a possible foreclosure. Her relationships crumbling, Kelly questions if she is really moving on with her life, or if she’s just fooling herself. Can Kelly leave her past behind and focus on solving the mystery? Or will Kelly continue to be plagued with nightmares and run away from everything good in her life?

“Author Annie Hansen truly weaves the reader through her cozy mystery somewhat in the same sense as Jessica Beck. Lately, it has taken me days to read books, but Ms. Hansen’s descriptive writing kept me turning pages. I finished the book in one sitting. I am looking forward to the next book to see how the author continues the series. Annie Hansen was a recipient of the Mystery Writers of America 2011 Helen McCloy/MWA Scholarship. After reading Give Me Chocolate, I understand why she won the award.”
