Still, when a Black stranger dressed in old-fashioned clothing arrives unexpectedly at Bella''s guesthouse at midnight on Juneteenth, only to vanish the next day as if he''d never existed, Bella''s sure there has to be a logical explanationOne that has nothing to do with the strange warning Odelia, the medium next door, delivers from the Spirits: Beware of . . . Barry?!

Bella doesn''t know a Barry, and she has enough people in her life already, what with her young son Max and their two kitties, handsome vet Drew, a plethora of kind but nosy neighbors and a full house of summer guestsBut as the mystery of the missing stranger deepens, she starts to wonder: did the Spirits really mean Barry? Or did they mean bury . . .
