Summary
He didn't care about the kid, didn't care why she was there, or why she was moping around, or where her friends had run off to. No, the only thing he cared about was the fact that she was doing all of her moping around his lighthouse. He thought that he had already paid those ridiculous detectives and their psychic friend to get rid of the ghosts, not leave one of their friends behind to lurk about, ruining the ambience.
Dagfinn turned his back and went back into the depths of his home. He should just stop looking, stop asking questions that he didn't care about the answers to. She got her magic 8-ball and her salt-water taffy; he didn't owe her anything else….
He didn't!
...
Ahhh, rats!

Summary
Truth was, since those boy detectives had solved his little lingering ghost problem, Dagfinn had been lonely.
Aye, the first few days without the interlopers had been enjoyable. His lighthouse quiet again, ‘side from the crashing waves and tourists. But he soon found himself drawn to the conversations of the tourists.
The couples in particular.Series

Summary
“What are you reading?”
“Scooby-Doo.” The girl reached for her book, and now Shelby recognized the characters on the front cover. “I read somewhere that mysteries can bring comfort during difficult times, and these are my favorite.”
“Why mysteries?”
“Because they deliver on a promise. A crime will be committed, or a murder, and then it gets solved. In Scooby-Doo, there’s some kind of supernatural phenomena that gets investigated. But they always solve the mystery in the end.” Her face brightened. “Did you know that during the London Blitz, when they set up makeshift libraries in the Underground shelters, the most popular books were Agatha Christie mysteries? When the world is falling apart, people can find comfort in stories where justice triumphs and everything makes sense.”
“I see.” Shelby was not entirely certain how she had come to be standing in a cemetery discussing murder mysteries with a strange girl, but it was honestly better than most of the conversations she’d participated in recently.
