When Katie Emmet, who Carly discovers had died six months ago, keeps showing up in her pictures, and then appearing in her visions, Carly investigates, with her best friend, Detective Genna Steinbreck, to see if they can find out why Katie’s spirit hasn’t crossed over yet. When they encounter clues that Katie was murdered, instead of dying in an accidental drowning as originally reported, the killer comes out of hiding to stop the truth from being told.

But it's Amy Fields, the fifteen-year-old pregnant girl next door who really turns Nellie’s world upside down. Amy decides to run away within hours of having her baby…and the only thing she brings with her is a bottle of whiskey and a pack of cigarettes. Nellie is just starting her life over and mending her broken relationship with her sister, but she never imagined she would do it while the women of Palisades Beach take her on the journey of her life.

It was almost twenty years ago, at age thirteen, when Laney Madison asked her Magic 8 Ball if she would ever get to see a dead body. After all, what amateur sleuth wouldn’t want to? The answer: YES DEFINITELY. But she never expected it to take so long, especially when murders and dead bodies were the last thing on her mind.

The walk through her childhood neighborhood was supposed to help clear her mind; she didn’t expect to be thrown right in the middle of a crime scene. Reuniting with her fellow Scoop Sister, Emma, the two investigate the murder of a childhood friend, ticking off their list of suspects.

The Scoop Sisters are enjoying the opportunity to solve a real case (Dad’s missing keys and where Billy Idol was holed up during his world tour didn’t cut it when they were teenagers). But Laney wants to know if they will ever find the killer and the missing body. Finding her Magic 8 Ball in the back of her closet, she dusts it off to see what is has to say. The answer: BETTER NOT TELL YOU NOW.
