Something old watches from the shadows of Crowford Library…

The year is 2014. When her estranged father turns up out of the blue, Donna knows better than to believe it’s just a social call. Keith has never been one for sentiment – especially when it comes to his daughter. Whatever brought him back to Crowford, it can't be good.

At the heart of town, the crumbling Crowford Library teeters on the edge of closure. Its last hope lies in a centuries-old painting said to be worth a fortune. But removing it may come at a price no one is prepared to pay. The locals whisper of Old Maggie, the ghost who guards the library’s secrets – and punishes those who threaten them.

As Donna digs into her father’s past and uncovers the painting’s dark history, she finds herself drawn into a chilling mystery that ties them both to something far older – and far more malevolent – than she ever imagined.

The dead don't rest quietly in Crowford.

The Ghost of Crowford Library is the eighteenth entry in the haunting Ghosts of Crowford series – a gripping tale of buried secrets, creeping dread, and the price of disturbing what should remain untouched. Each book in the series tells a standalone story and they can be read in any order.
