When Louise Lemay, self-proclaimed typical snowbird, has a chance meeting with a "funny little woman", through which she meets her new friend Julia Novo, Julia tells her that it's not merely chance, but some type of divine guidance that brings together a cast of characters to the same unusual open house on the Gulf Coast of Florida. Not all the guests are happy to be there, but some might kill to own the breathtaking, waterfront property. When the homeowner, who is intensely detested by just about everyone, is murdered, Louise becomes a reluctant but fascinated witness to the unnerving way in which Julia uses her otherworldly connections to solve the mystery. Spirits and sparks fly as the two join forces with detectives, but they use the kind of forces to which the police are not necessarily accustomed. Together they must dig up ghosts of the past and the present to narrow down the list of suspects. Will the murder victim join in the hunt for his own killer? Anything is possible in this whodunit, or as Louise's husband, Roger, describes it, "this open house of horrors". Louise doesn't know it yet, but life is about to be full of surprises that, for her, will change everything.
