Haunted to Death

A Domestic Partners in Crime Mystery, Book 3

By: Frank Anthony Polito

Narrated by: Frank Anthony Polito

Kicking off season three of their hit reality TV show Domestic Partners is a home renovation project with an irresistible hook. Woods Hall is a lavish 1913 manor home in the Detroit suburb of Pleasant Woods, once belonging to the town's founding family. It also comes with its own ghost.

Twenty-five years ago during a Halloween night party, automotive heiress and beauty queen Emma Wheeler-Woods, wearing a white Princess Diana wedding gown as a costume, fell from a third-floor balcony to her death. Or was she pushed?

Fiona Forrest recently inherited the home after learning she was Emma's daughter, and she and her fiance have hired the Domestic Partners to restore the family property to its original splendor. But ghostly sightings, injured crew, secret passageways, locked rooms, and sabotage beg the question: Is the place actually haunted? And perhaps more practically, was Fiona's mother murdered?

Hustling to have work finished in time to shoot the finale on Halloween—the anniversary of Emma's mysterious death—do Peter and JP have a ghost of a chance of also solving a cold case from a quarter of a century ago before someone else takes a fall?

Good ongoing development of story line and mystery

This book (3rd in a series) shows good storyline with great character development. And the author’s reading of the book has improved. I like that the accent is authentic geographically. And I think there is enough meat to the story lines to make them deserving of Audible. But should the author continue the series, I would need to make some hard decisions about whether I listen to the book or read it. I think having to fall back on reading would be a shame.

disappointed

Overly descriptive to the point of boring. Read like the wrightings of a fifth greader. Didn't make it past the second chapter.
Returned book.
