Soul ProprietorA Cozy Mystery with a Ghostly Twist

While Everly's away, the sleuths will play… and naturally stumble over a body.

With Everly and Drew off honeymooning, Mooselick River enjoys a rare moment of calm—until Jacy, Neena, and Patrea sign up for a girls' night at the town's newest attraction and find themselves locked in an escape room… with a dead man.

The victim? A charming travel vlogger whose visit was supposed to bring positive buzz to The Strand Escape, a handmade experience crafted by newcomer Kari Palmiscno in the back room of the old Strand Cinema. What was meant to be good publicity turns into a nightmare when Kari becomes the prime suspect.

But something doesn't add up.

As the mystery deepens, the sleuth squad recruits Kitty and Leandra to help unravel a case filled with hidden motives, small-town rivalries, and the kind of ghostly interference Mooselick River is famous for. Without Everly's ghost-whispering abilities, they'll need to rely on their combined talents and growing detective skills to solve a murder that threatens to permanently shut down Kari's dreams—and potentially their own lives.
