Last month, the boys and I met my mom and dad in Williams, Arizona to tour the Grand Canyon and Bearizona. In between eating (which tends to be a major activity in our travels), visiting haunted coffee shops and of course, standing on the South Rim of the Grand Canyon, I read Still Life in Brunswick Stew by Larissa Reinhart. If you’ve never been to Williams, it’s a small town and the perfect pl...

Description:
No one remembers him…
One October morning in 1932, Vicente Sorolla entered the white house on the hill and was never seen again .
Now, Detective Dori Orihuela helplessly witnesses his brutal murder in her nightmares.
Settling into a 120 year-old Edwardian mansion, Dori restores her dream home while recovering from a bullet wound and waiting to go back on duty.
But then one afternoon, Vicente materializes out of her butler's pantry and asks her to find a woman named Anna. Dori wonders if she's not only about to lose her badge, but also her sanity.
Dori and Vicente's unlikely friendship takes us back to the waning days of Prohibition in San Diego and the dusty barrio of National City. Mary Castillo's new novel, featuring the wild Orihuela family that first delighted readers in Names I Call My Sister, weaves romance, history and a mystery into a humorous, touching and unforgettable story.

Do you believe in spooks? My last book is based partly on my experience growin gup in a haunted house. Yes, really I grew up with a ghost. Just ask my mom and dad. Anyway, I'm curious what you all have experienced!
Yes, I believe in ghosts and I've seen one , too!
I'm open to the possibility.
I do believe in spooks but I've never seen, heard or felt one.
Uh, dude ... no.
