Call the Dead Again — Ann Granger

Meredith Mitchell and her long-time friend Inspector Alan Markby planned to do something special for the weekend--just to break the routine. As it happened, it was murder that changed their plans...

Meredith is hesitant about picking up the hitchhiker on a deserted road outside Bamford, yet with darkness approaching, she just can't leave the young girl alone. But when the stranger is evasive about why she's headed for the beautiful Tudor home of a prominent lawyer, Meredith begins to feel uneasy. And when the lawyer is found dead the next morning, Meredith fears her first instincts were right.

Soon the intrepid sleuths team up to uncover the ghosts of the past and mysteries of the present--exposing some scandalous secrets that drove someone to mischief, madness...and murder.
