Hallowe’en parties aren’t spooky when you see spooks all the time.

But reluctant psychic Lucas is tolerating it for his fiancée’s sake – even the nonsense about a pen afflicted by an Ancient Egyptian curse.

Their host trying to summon a ghost was beyond the pale, though.

Thank goodness a very different kind of spirit was available to help take his mind off it.

However, not everyone at the party is as alive as they might be, and Lucas soon finds himself investigating a tragic tale of star-crossed lovers, family feuds, and murder.

Can he help the spirits reunite, or will their decades of heartbreak and loneliness continue… forever?

I Ain’t Got No Body is a standalone novella linked to The Lucas Rathbone Mysteries, a series of traditional whodunnits set in 1920s England, where a very un-traditional number of ghosts need help solving their murders.

Unfortunately for Lucas, there’s only one person for the job…

Praise For Saffron Amatti

“Wholesome fun, well-written and funny, and a joy to read. They would make an excellent TV series! I wish I could rate them 10 stars!”

“You quote Father Brown, you’re dying to visit Midsomer, and Phryne Fisher is your style icon. Now it’s time to meet Lucas Rathbone.”

“I could imagine it playing out like a prime-time serial TV show and I settled in for a little murder, a little humour, and the bad guy getting caught. Nailed it!”

“These mysteries aren't just cozies, they are studies in atmosphere and characterization. With a deft hand and an easy wit, Saffron Amatti never stops surprising the reader. Ghosts are employed in a fresh and clever way that adds to the overall sense that these stories are fresh, new, and enchanting. The only criticism I have is that I want to read more!”

“If you like a cosy mystery, if you like humor, if you like good writing and endearing characters, Lucas Rathbone Mysteries are for you.”

“A classic whodunnit with just the right amount of characters’ depth & twists and turns to keep you hooked till the very last page.”

“Amatti constructs her characters’ dialogues with the kind of snappy rhythm a reader can’t resist. The author gets high marks for her carefully crafted repartee!”
