"The perfect alchemy of romance, humor and quirky originality."—Sophie Cousens, New York Times bestselling author of This Time Next Year and The Good Part

A clever con woman must convince a skeptical, sexy farmer of his property's resident real-life ghost if she's to save them all from a fate worse than death, in this delightful new novel from the author of Mrs. Nash's Ashes.

Fake spirit medium Gretchen Acorn is happy to help when her best (read: wealthiest) client hires her to investigate the unexplained phenomena preventing the sale of her bridge partner’s struggling goat farm. Gretchen may be a fraud, but she'd like to think she’s a beneficentone. So if "cleansing" the property will help a nice old man finally retire and put some much-needed cash in her pockets at the same time, who's she to say no?

Of course, it turns out said bridge partner isn't the kindly AARP member Gretchen imagined—Charlie Waybill is young, hot as hell, and extremely unconvinced that Gretchen can communicate with the dead. (Which, fair.) Except, to her surprise, Gretchen finds herself face-to-face with Everett: the very real, very chatty ghost that’s been wreaking havoc during every open house. And he wants her to help ensure Charlie avoids the same family curse that's had Everett haunting Gilded Creek since the 1920s.

Now, Gretchen has one month to convince Charlie he can’t sell the property. Unfortunately, hard work and honesty seem to be the way to win over the stubborn farmer—not exactly Gretchen's strengths. But trust isn’t the only thing growing between them, and the risk of losing Charlie to the spirit realm looms over Gretchen almost as annoyingly as Everett himself. To save the goat farm, its friendly phantom, and the man she's beginning to love, Gretchen will need to pull off the greatest con of her life: being fully, genuinely herself.

"A sincere and sincerely funny romance."—Alix E. Harrow, New York Times bestselling author of Starling House

“Sarah Adler nails the ultimate rom-com alchemy.”—Carley Fortune, New York Times bestselling author of Every Summer After and Meet Me at the Lake

Happy Medium hat mich positiv überrascht!

Die Charaktere sind toll. Die Kulisse genau meins. Übernatürliches, perfekt. Und dann auch noch so lustig. Ich musste wirklich oft grinsen bei dieser Geschichte. Habe anfangs ein bisschen gebraucht um richtig reinzukommen, dann war ich aber komplett drin und bin traurig, dass es vorbei ist. Kann das Buch auf jeden Fall als RomCom weiterempfehlen.

This book was absolutely adorable and funny! I’ve always loved paranormal themes like ghosts, witches, and the like—so stories like this are definitely my kind of thing. I also really enjoyed the farm setting and the goats; it reminded me of my childhood summers spent at my grandparents’ place. They had a harvest field along with chickens and ducks, and I would help out and play with the animals—minus the ghost (at least, I hope there wasn’t one ;) ). The only thing that bothered me a bit was how often Charlie reminded Gretchen that she was a con artist just scamming people. That repetition felt a little overdone. Overall, though, I really enjoyed the book and the cozy farm vibes. P.S. If I were a ghost cursed to live 100 years on the same field, I’d definitely watch all the TV dramas too :)
