From USA Today bestselling author Jennifer Fischetto comes another laugh-out-loud Gianna Mancini Mystery... When Gianna Mancini, reluctant ghost whisperer and plus-sized shoeista, attends a bridal shower for a family friend, she doesn’t expect to see her favorite movie star, Raina Stone in attendance. Too bad Gianna's gift of communicating with the dead doesn’t give her the ability to predict the future. If it did, she'd have known she was about to stumble on Raina’s dead body. The police rule it as an accident, but something feels off to Gianna. With the help of her dead Aunt Stella and a grumpy ghost named Freezer Dude, Gianna discovers that the celebrity was harboring secrets from her past. Secrets that may have contributed to her death. Between spying on suspects with Aunt Stella to having to rescue her favorite boots from Raina’s quirky manager, Gianna has her work cut out for her. The closer Gianna gets to the truth, the more danger seems to find her, and if she’s not careful, she may just end up crossing to the other side.

From USA Today bestselling author Jennifer Fischetto comes a hauntingly clever Gianna Mancini Mystery you don't want to miss! Ghost whisperer and sandwich connoisseur, Gianna Mancini, is living a drama-free life in a rent-reduced apartment above the family deli, working as a receptionist for her hot P.I. “taking it slow” boyfriend, and about to become an aunt for the second time. Nothing can sour her mood—not even a chance encounter with her high school frenemy that is less than friendly. That is until her frenemy's ghost suddenly appears in her living room. Hilary Burton is dead, and the number one suspect in her murder is her husband and Gianna’s arch nemesis, Kevin. He says he’s innocent, but Hilary has a very different story. It doesn’t matter though. Gianna has no intention of involving herself in this murder. Nope, she’s totally staying out of it. However when an anonymous tip leads the police to question if Gianna's altercation with Hilary was tense enough to lead to murder, she's suddenly right in the thick of it! And the more Gianna looks into it, the more she wonders who is lying—the ghost with a shady past or the man who has been a perpetual thorn in Gianna's side? With her freedom on the line, Gianna has to figure out the truth before she’s fitted for an orange jumpsuit. Unfortunately the killer intends to stop at nothing to get away with murder, even if it means Gianna becomes the next victim.

From USA Today bestselling author Jennifer Fischetto comes the next hauntingly fun Gianna Mancini Mystery... Reluctant ghost whisperer and newly hired party planner, Gianna Mancini, finds herself helping to plan an over-the-top wedding unlike any she’s ever seen—gaudy carnations, mermaid-inspired bridal party gowns, and a piña colada infused wedding cake. Whatever the client wants. But when Lexi, an author and the maid of honor, is found dead at the bridal shower, Gianna’s job becomes much more difficult. Especially when Lexi's ghost appears to Gianna, demanding answers. Lexi is not all that happy she’s been killed before her latest book can be published—a scandalous drama not-so-loosely based on the secrets of those in her real life. She wants revenge for her death, but there are more suspects to the killing than Gianna can keep straight. On top of that, the bride-to-be asks Gianna to step into Lexi’s ridiculously high stilettos and become her new maid of honor. With only a week before the wedding, the clock is ticking down for Gianna to find a killer. Seven days of giggly women, angry relatives, and a ghost who is more vengeful than helpful. While Gianna keeps her attention on a houseful of suspects, a killer watches her every move...and if Gianna isn't careful, they just may strike again!

From USA Today bestselling author Jennifer Fischetto comes a beach read full of romance, mystery, and a vacation turned deadly in the sunny Caribbean! Welcome to Voyage Cruise Line: where a sunny day is always just a trip away! At least, that's the official motto Zibby Foster learned when she was hired as the ship's dance instructor. And she's starting to believe it—sailing to tropical ports all over the world that have almost been enough to leave the cares of her former life behind. So, when the ship docks in Barbados, Zibby and her new best friend, Cady Hart, plan to soak up the sun, see the sights, and sip the island’s infamous rum at Cady's boyfriend Aiden's local bar. Only their plans go terribly awry when a group of American tourists enter the scene, and one of them dies right in front of Zibby after sipping one of Aiden's cocktails! With the police suspecting foul play, suddenly Aiden’s livelihood is on the line, a murderer is on the loose, and it's up to Zibby and Cady to figure out just what killed the vacationing victim. With a little help from the ship’s sexy doctor, Zibby finds herself getting closer to the truth as she gets closer to the deceased's circle of friends...maybe too close as the danger mounts, time runs out, and the killer sets his sights on Zibby as his second victim.
