Synopsis

Melanie Turner has made quite a name for herself remodeling historic houses in the San Francisco Bay Area. But now her reputation may be on the line.

At her newest project, a run-down Pacific Heights mansion, Mel is visited by the ghost of a colleague who recently met a bad end with power tools. Mel hopes that by nailing the killer, she can rid herself of the ghostly presence of the murdered man—and not end up a construction casualty herself . . .

I really enjoy cozy mysteries. I've read reviews where people complain of the predictably of them, but that's the kind of books they are. Just like romances, they are completely predictable.

There's something about a former anthropologist/academic who (after an incomplete PhD and a messy divorce) runs a construction company that s......more
