Murder on the House is the third installment in the Haunted Home Renovation Mystery series. This series just keeps getting better and better! This is a wonderful paranormal mystery series by writer Juliet Blackwell. Her writing is impeccable, the story fun and utterly readable. Don't miss this one!

As good as the other two I read in the series. Not quite finished yet but am enjoying.

Juliet has done it again by writing an entertaining story that I could not put down. The mystery kept me turning the pages as I had to know what was happening next. Melanie is a great character and I like that with each book we continue to learn more about her and her friends. This was a fun read and one of the best thus far and I can’t wait for the next book in this wonderfully crafted series.

A ghostly bed-and-breakfast. Could it get any better? I really enjoyed this book. I was able to follow along even though this is the first book in this series I've read. I liked the historical background Juliet Blackwell brings to the story. It was spooky at times... staying among ghosts all night in the hotel in order to win the bid. The mystery moved along and had a few twists and turns. I love home renovation and I loved the mix of the mystery and renovation. Quirky cast of characters and a ghostly murder makes this a must read! I'm going to read the first 2 books in this series!

1. No fighting. If there is a disagreement, come to me.
2. No one goes outside if it is storming. Too much risk of somebody getting fried.
3. All hurt or sick animals get treated by me or a med animal, no exceptions. I don't want you to die.
4. Large animals (dragons, horses, etc.) will stay outside unless it is storming or special circumstances. Sorry, too much chance for disaster.
5. NO EVIL ANIMALS!!! I don't want someone coming here and killing everybody. If you dare come anywhere near here, you WILL be driven off.
6. If you follow the rules, you will be rewarded by various things. If you disobey, you will not be able to go outside for a short period of time.
Thanks!!!

Mel Turner has a way with ghosts and people are starting to talk. So much so that the new owners of a historic house have contacted her not only to restore the house but to use her abilities to encourage the ghosts thought to be there to roam about. They want to open a haunted Bed & Breakfast.
In order to win the contact she must stay overnight in the house with another prospective contractor and the elderly caretaker, who also is the previous owner. The sleepover comes to an abrupt halt when the estate gains another supernatural occupant. Someone didn’t make it through the night. Mel hopes that she can get the resident spirits help her find the killer before she becomes another victim and joins them in their ghostly world .
These stories first drew me in because of my house construction background but now in addition to that it is the history woven into the story. Juliet Blackwell blends the history with the mystery to give us readers an excellent read. That the house the story is based on could actually have been haunted just added to the story. I could hear the creaks and the groans and the marbles bouncing down the stairs – sent shivers up my spine.
Mel is a spunky protagonist and seems to have no fear most of the time but even this set of ghosts took their toll on her. Her life is not turning out the way she planned. She wanted to take off for Paris but her dad needed her so she came home. She enjoys restoring homes but there are days she wishes for Paris, but I think the trouble who just follow her there. Her gift now realizes would sneak up on her wherever she goes. I am glad she is sticking around San Francisco and the construction biz. Who knows who she will have haunting her during her next renovation?
Murder on the House is a smart and clever mystery all cozy lovers will enjoy!!

I love Juliet Blackwell's writing. Her books are very entertaining and you can get lost in them to escape the real world for a short time. Many of her books have been there to help me through rough times in my life. She is a wonderful author. If you have not read any of her books- you are really missing out!

Overview

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 ...
