'Talking skulls, family feuds, red herrings and a spirited      (in every sense) heroine underpin this funny, fizzing debut that      also acknowledges the madness of grief.' DAILY MAIL      'Demelza doesn't believe in ghosts! She doesn't      even believe in the afterlife. This inner conflict enlivens Rivers'      humorous fantasy, as Demelza is forced to apply her logical      mind to problem-solve the strangest occurrences and defeat      the most ephemeral of nemeses. This gives the book a broad appeal,      which both STEM and sci-fi lovers will warm to.' IRISH      TIMES      Demelza loves science - she loves it so much that she stays      up late to work on her inventions.   But she soon discovers      she's also inherited a distinctly unscientific skill: Spectre      Detecting. Like her grandmother,      she can summon the ghosts of the dead.   But when Grandma      Maeve is kidnapped, Demelza and her pasty-faced best friend, Percy,      must leap into action to solve the deadly mystery ...
