From the New York Times bestselling author of Keeper of the Castle, San Francisco contractor and ghost whisperer Mel Turner must solve a murder mystery at a haunted mansion in the Pacific Heights...San Francisco millionaire Andrew Stirling wants to sell his Victorian mansion, but ghostly music, the squeaking of a long-disappeared weathervane, and an angry ghost keep running off potential buyers. After a famous psychic is called in, she informs the Stirlings that their multi-million-dollar renovations to "update" the home have left its resident ghost extremely agitated. So contractor Mel Turner is engaged to track down and replace some of the original features of the house. But when the beautiful psychic is found stabbed, it appears someone had a very human motive for murder. Now Mel must use her ghost whispering gift to uncover the secrets of the haunted house on the hill, and her sleuthing skills to catch a killer.
This is the first book I have read of the series. It was one of those impulse grabs off the shelves. I am glad I decided to read it. The characters were engaging, Mel's demeanor, and her can-do-by-the-seat-of-my-pants methods of ghost hunting is entertaining. I have always enjoyed any kind of ghost related story and I was not disappointed at all. I am now going to go back and read the series in order. Although I had not read the previous books of the series it was easy to overlook any references that referred to the past. I highly recommend if you enjoy haunted houses and ghost stories.
It would have been a great story, except there was too much about the characters past history - which was never said. So, if I want to understand the "past history", I have to start with book one of this series. I think I'll stick with Janet Evanovich.
