Read more about Ellis Vidler and her mysteries, featuring Haunting Refrain, on the following pages. It's a southern mystery with a little romance and a touch of the paranormal, set in the South Carolina Piedmont. Kate McGuire, a woman who's struggling to keep her photography business afloat, joins in a parapsychology experiment, but the fun is short-lived when she sees a murder being committed. The recurring vision of the murdered woman haunts Kate, compelling her to seek the killer. A reporter uses the story to fill in a couple of column inches, never thinking it could lead to anything. But the little paragraph alerts the murderer, who would really like to see Kate dead.
