Mystery

Mel Turner renovates historic homes and specializes in restoring older homes in the San Francisco area. Along the way, she has encountered ghosts and murder mysteries that seem to always pop up on her construction sites. Mel's friend Alicia hires Mel's company to renovate an old lighthouse into an inn. However, there is a ghost that haunts the lighthouse stairs. This mournful ghost creates lots of drama for Mel when the renovation first begins. Always making things eventful on the job site, Mel wonders why this ghost is still hanging around the lighthouse. But this is not the only mystery we have to solve: Alicia's abusive ex-husband shows up making trouble of his own. When he takes an unexpectedly fatal fall down the lighthouse stairs, things seem to point to Alicia... Was the ghost to blame for his death, or was it just karma? This time of the year when the weather starts to turn cooler and the days start to get shorter is the perfect time to read a good mystery novel. There is nothing better on a cool, gloomy day than snuggling up with a warm blanket, a hot cup of tea and a good mystery.

SUMMARY

In the latest mystery from the New York Times bestselling author of Give Up the Ghost, it will take a beacon of ghostly intervention to guide contractor Mel Turner to the truth... Dangerous tides ahead... When her friend Alicia hires Turner Construction to renovate a historic lighthouse in the San Francisco Bay, Mel Turner can’t wait to get her hands dirty. Alicia plans to transform the island property into a welcoming inn, and while Mel has never attempted a project so ambitious—or so tall—before, she’s definitely up for the challenge. But trouble soon arises when Alicia’s abusive ex-husband shows up to threaten both her and Mel, and later turns up dead at the base of the lighthouse stairs. With no other suspects in sight, things start looking choppy for Alicia. Now, if Mel wants to clear her friend’s name, she’ll need the help of the lighthouse’s resident ghosts to shine a light on the real culprit...
