If You Have Ghosts: A Four Chums Mystery (The Four Chums)

Tarquin Rhodes has plenty of experience with haunted houses. Falling in love with the ghost is something new.

A romantic afternoon at his family’s newly restored country house is supposed to mend Tarquin’s relationship with his girlfriend. Then a mysterious young woman puts her hands over his eyes—and disappears.

Her name is Christabelle. She’s funny, enchanting, and delighted to discover she can still blush. She’s also been dead for two years.

She doesn’t remember how she died.

Determined to help her, Tarquin enlists his closest friends, Jeremy, Adrian, and Rhys. Together, the four chums begin piecing together Christabelle’s lost past—and uncover a disturbing connection to a serial killer whose victims bear an unsettling resemblance to her.

As their investigation brings danger closer to everyone Tarquin loves, his impossible romance becomes a desperate dilemma. Giving Christabelle peace means discovering what happened to her. But finding the truth may mean losing her forever.

Set in the 1980s, If You Have Ghosts blends supernatural mystery, chilling suspense, irreverent humour, and a tender love story about holding on—and finding the courage to let go.
