Query: An interesting plot

This mystery includes ghosts, people's reputations, and the dogthat barked in the night. It was difficult to put the book down.Ellie goes off to housesit her aunt Kate's estate in the Virginiahorse country, and immediately encounters a resident ghost, or isit? Various ancestors of "old families" make an appearance, and just what are the dark secrets the families have buried?Between eccentric Aunt Kate, her friend Ted, the neighboring doctor and his son, Donald, some strange servants, and the present generation of the "old families," not to mention the large assortment of dogs and cats along with a pet rat, the story gets interesting. Is there trickery, perhaps mass hallucinations, or has someone really raised the dead?There are some sidelights about the Washington Redskins, and an argument about who was the best quarterback of all times. Disagreement with Kate can give men a bad itch where gentlemen don't scratch. Overall, it was good reading for a rainy evening.
