Brenda has come to Whitby to run a B&B and find some peace and quiet after a long and eventful life. She and her best friend Effie like nothing better than going out for dinner at the Christmas Hotel and keeping their eyes open for any mysterious goings on. And what with sinister beauty salons, peculiar visiting families from Norfolk and roving psychic investigators there are plenty of mysterious goings-on.
