Mel Turner has taken over running her father's construction
business, and word has it, she can communicate with ghosts.
The owners of a large historic home have contacted her to
restore their haunted home, for they want to turn it into a
haunted Bed and Breakfast. The owners tell Mel they are
aware she can speak with the dead and this encourages Mel
to be the contractor that is hired. But Mel is up against
another large contracting company, so she must give it her
best sell.
For her to obtain the contract, she must stay overnight in
the house with the other prospective contractor and the
elderly caretaker Mrs. Bernini who is the previous owner.
Mel brings along a couple of her friends who are scared out
of their minds to see a ghost. And do they see ghosts? Oh
yes they do, but as the sleepover progress's someone is
murdered. Mel seeks out the help of the ghosts to find the
murderer before she becomes the next victim.
Mel has no fear of ghosts, well most of the time, that is.
Mel's dreams were to go to Paris, but after her mom passed
away, her dad needed her to help out with the business. She
finds that these ghosts are truly wearing her out, but she
won't stop, until she finds out who the person is, which
murdered this nice elderly woman.
I found MURDER ON THE HOUSE to be both entertaining and
very scary, but I love scary. Apparently, Juliet Blackwell
has more books of this nature and I so look forward to
reading them all!
Word has spread that contractor Mel Turner can communicate
with the spirits of the dead, and she’s having a hard time
maintaining a low profile. She decides to embrace her
reputation for the chance to restore a historic house that
calls to her. The new owners, who hope to run a haunted
bed-and-breakfast, want Mel to encourage the ghosts that
supposedly roam the halls to enhance the house’s paranormal
charm.
The catch: Mel has to spend one night in the house to win
the project. During the spine-chilling sleepover, the estate
gains another supernatural occupant when someone doesn’t
survive the night. As Mel tries to coax the resident spirits
into revealing the identity of the killer, she risks
becoming the next casualty of this dangerous renovation.
