Setup for this snippet: Lars has a theory why he's remained earthbound... (This is in Cecilia's POV.) Wasn't sure what the language rating is so it has been edited. Even though I'm sure you can fill in the blanks. lol
"I have a theory," he voiced as if he was glad she finally asked.
"And?" she encouraged him to say more.
"I need to know who murdered me."
Her eyebrows arched in surprise. "Your death was deemed an unfortunate accident."
"F--- that." He threw up his hands in frustration. "I was murdered." His voice clearly indicated he felt his claim was the truth and he wouldn't debate it a moment longer, but still she had to try.
"I think you're a little confused." **********************************************************************************************************************
Lars Gunner, the frontman for Silent Plaids, died 23 years ago and his death was ruled an unfortunate accident. Despite the fact he can't recall what happened to him in his last moments of life, he is convinced he was murdered. He has been trapped in limbo until his daughter, Cecilia, unearths his journal and is able to see him. She seeks help from Kaleb, a psychic, but as they resurrect the past, the secrets and lies surrounding Lars' rock and roll life just may be the death of them too.

Interesting idea … I look forward to reading how he’s going to convince her of his theory.
Iris,
I’m so glad you’re intrigued.
I’m sure this is something she doesn’t want to hear!
Christina,
I’m sure it isn’t.
I doubt her theory will make him change his mind. Great snippet!
Elyzabeth,
I have a hunch it won’t either. 🙂
She’s the one who is confused. How is she going to handle the truth? Can’t wait to find out . . . Nice scene, Karen!!
Nancy,
She’s heard the story of what happened to her father. She’s seen it posted on the web. So it’s a bit weird to find out it’s wrong.
I love the premise of this story! I guess it must be doubly frustrating having to argue with the ghost of your father! Can’t wait to read more!
I’m glad you’re intrigued to know more.
Definitely murdered!
Charmaine,
lol- you’re probably right. 🙂
I wonder how much help he can be as she goes off to investigate the murder? An interesting plot twist – enjoyed the snippet!
Veronica,
I’m sure he’ll have some advice to give. 🙂
I love a ghost who wants to solve his own murder. Great scene.
Christine,
He is determined too.
Oooo the plot thickens!
Amy,
Yes, it does.
Um, he was there, she wasn’t. But I can see how hearing something that went counter to everything she’d been raised knowing could elicit that sort of reaction.
PT,
So very true.
Or maybe she wasn’t told the whole truth… I like this need for closure. It makes the ghost more believable. (Not that he wasn’t believable before!)
Kimberly,
So glad you’re enjoying the snippets.
Okay – she has to listen to him now.
Aurora,
But will she?
I can see why he doesn’t want to let the matter go. Compelling snippet.
Jess,
Thank you.
This is a great plot twists, Karen. We can now glimpse the direction the book may take.
Ed,
Glad you’re enjoying the snippets. 🙂
Now the truth is out and we know why he’s still around! I wonder how he’s going to prove it though. Great snippet!
Thanks, Hywela. 🙂
Just betting that it was a murder. Now to prove it.
Finally! When she eventually believes him, I hope she’ll have some peace about him leaving her. (Does that make sense?)
