With everyone looking for evidence against her, her only choice is to uncover the identity of the real killer.There's one big problem - Zora has no leads. No one does.

The arsonist was never caught.Now, Zora must team up with her cousin Artemis - an annoying self-proclaimed Addamsville historian - to clear her name. But with a popular ghost-hunting television show riling up the townspeople, almost no support from her family and friends, and rumors spinning out of control, things aren't looking good. Zora will have to read between the lines of Addamsville's ghost stories before she becomes one herself.
