Nicknamed ?the Shadow Reader? for her ability to see ghosts, Dr Porter Biggleswade is a straight-talking paranormal investigator. While Porter's work takes her to the Bronte Parsonage in Haworth, ghostly feuds are the least of her worries. A woman haunted by her living mother; a farmer plagued by spectral ewes; and a developer desperate to evict his mediaeval tenants show Porter that the living are as troubled as the shadows she is investigating. Shadows in the Mist is the first book in Amy Flint's Porter Biggleswade series.
