Murder in Paint (Hitchhiker Book 1)

Violet Tumbleton's name is important to her and someone has stolen it. The problem is it's hard to act when you've been dead for seventy years. Oliver Atkinson's life is busy. Between trying to write a book, children, and housework, he doesn't have time for the spirit that's taken up residence in his head. Only she isn't going anywhere until she gets her name back. Central to it all is a stolen painting, that's been re-stolen leaving behind a lot of questions, and a dead body. Oliver must team up with a con artist to solve a murder. Along the way he has to deal with liars, thieves, thugs, and little old ladies. And he needs to be home in time to do the school pick up.
