Old Bones — Alexie Aaron

Every family has a few skeletons in their closet.

Meeting the future in-laws has Mia in a panic. She'd rather face a hoard of marauding ghosts than make polite conversation with the 150 relatives and friends that have arrived to check her out.

“If you are reading this then I, Giuseppe Basso, am dead. I have been murdered.”

Audrey, the newest member of the PEEPs family, finds the ominous note under a beautifully carved grandfather clock and is determined to solve the mystery behind it. Unfortunately, the ghostly patriarch of the Basso family has other ideas and will stop at nothing to bury the scandal.

Mia's father has gone missing while investigating a link between a western Missouri tribe and the ancient city of Cahokia. He has been abducted by a time walker hell-bent on finding out why his memory was erased from time. Mia, Murphy and PEEPs rush down to St. Louis to pick up the trail of the time walker.

“Old Bones” is about families, the ones we are born with and the ones we choose. It starts with a good old fashioned haunted house investigation and moves on to a paranormal adventure that crosses state lines but timelines too. This is the seventh full length novel in the “Haunted” series, the ninth novel over all.
