Synopsis

San Francisco contractor Mel Turner is leading a volunteer home renovation project, and while she expects lots of questions from her inexperienced crew, she can't help asking a few of her own—especially about the haunted house next door . . . the place local kids call the Murder House.

But when volunteers discover a body while cleaning out a shed, questions pile up faster than discarded lumber. Mel notices signs of ghostly activity next door and she wonders: Are the Murder House ghosts reaching out to her for help, or has the house claimed another victim?

Now, surprised to find herself as the SFPD's unofficial "ghost consultant," Mel must investigate murders both past and present before a spooky killer finishes another job.

Another fun episode of house reconstruction. This time the haunted house was next door to a volunteer project &, of course, Mel gets sucked into a murder mystery. At least she gets a bit more chummy with the detective. Had to break one way or the other since this is the 4th time they met. The half-as......more
