When a rival Paranormal Busting company starts playing dirty, Samantha (Sam) Hammett does not take it lying down. Upon hearing that the local vampire prince, Petroff, is infested with not one, but three pesky spooks, she goes to his castle to usurp the job from her rivals, the Strakov brothers. Convincing the ghosts of an intoxicated chef, a soup-can painter, and a mad monk to get lost is a snap compared to resisting the handsome prince, but Sam does not want to end up dead, or undead, as the case may be. However, when she finds out Petroff's connection to her rivals, something is going to hit the fan.

Ms. Webber has demonstrated her ability to make us laugh in a historical setting, now, in a contemporary story, she continues to earn her place on the must buy list. The humor is sharp, snappy, and requires you to think a little to get all the puns and in-jokes. Solving a mystery and witnessing a romance are bonuses.

Luckily, business is booming, so Sam'll soon be bustin' up, bustin' down-bustin' every which way but loose. And there's more than the ghost of a chance she'll fall in love.
