When Lottie Carter moves into a new home, she expects a fresh start, not a haunting. Soon after settling in, she discovers that the house is occupied by the mischievous phantom of its former owner, whose appearances in red pajamas are as puzzling as they are unsettling.

Filled with witty dialogue, clever twists, and charming characters, the novel delivers an engaging mystery that balances intrigue with warmth and humor.
