Celeste "Celie" Dupree inherited two things from her grandmother: a small, perpetually drafty storefront in Louisiana, and a family curse. The shop is The Bayou Bouffant, Celie's hair salon. The curse? She can see and talk to ghosts.
Celie and her spectral salon crew—a glamorous 1920s flapper, a nosey 1950s housewife, and a grumpy Civil War soldier—are used to trading local gossip and historical secrets. But when Celie's bitter rival, Evangeline "Evie" Thibodeaux, is found dead behind the Bayou Bouffant, the gossip turns deadly.
The lead investigator, Detective Miles Corbin, is a skeptical outsider who sees only motive and opportunity, immediately naming Celie as his prime suspect, thanks to the decades-old grudge between Evie and Celie's late grandmother.
Now, Celie must clear her name, and her only reliable witnesses are dead. When the ghosts guide her to a forgotten boundary marker and a hidden path, they uncover a clue that points not to Celie, but to the charming newcomer in town, Elias "Eli" Vance, the handsome coffee shop owner she's been falling for.
To catch a killer and save her business, Celie must untangle a modern murder plot from a century of bayou secrets before she becomes the killer's next spectral client.
