A Ray of Pitch Black (Goth Girl Mysteries 1)

When the Goth Girls—Elvira, Midnight, and Winter—stumble across a book of old spells, Elvira secretly hopes one will cure her mother's chronic illness. Unfortunately, the spell to do that is on a page somebody has torn out. Not truly believing in the powers, Midnight suggests visiting the town cemetery and using a necromancy chant to raise the spirit of the book's owner. They can ask her to tell them the missing spell, before sending her back to the grave. Thinking it's just a bit of fun, Elvira readily agrees. But adventure turns to disaster when the spirit of Fletcher Eldross the Third appears in response to the magic spell. He's nice enough as ghosts go, apart from the hatchet buried in his skull. Elvira embarks on a mission to discover Fletcher's murderer, hoping that will allow the turn-of-the-century man to return to his grave. If she can't find the killer, then he might haunt her forever! This cozy mystery is free from swearing, gore, and graphic scenes (but may contain the occasional ghost) It's all fun and games until somebody raises the dead!
