Murder on the House

Haunted Home Renovation Series, Book 3

By: Juliet Blackwell

Narrated by: Xe Sands

Word has spread that contractor Mel Turner can communicate with the spirits of the dead, and she's having a hard time maintaining a low profile. 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 win the project. During the spine-chilling sleepover, the estate gains another supernatural occupant when someone doesn't survive the night. As Mel tries to coax the resident spirits into revealing the identity of the killer, she risks becoming the next casualty of this dangerous renovation.

Critic reviews

"This book read like a charm. Juliet Blackwell has a knack for weaving supernatural and mysterious elements into a beautiful story that the reader just cannot put down." (Girl Lost in a Book)

Murder & Mayhem all around

Fun to listen to murder mystery with a tad little bit of romance.Lots of character's,it was a bit hard keeping up with them all but the narrator didn't seem to have any problem with that herself.She did a great job giving each character individuality & personality.The only thing I could be disappointed in was some of the character's in the story weren't accounted for in the end leaving you to wonder what happened to them,like Tom Avery for example.He supposedly to sailed away but to me it didn't sound like something the man would have done.Over all,very cute story with murder & ghosts & lots of curious friends.Would recommend reading for any one at any age.

Sweet book

Enjoyable light hearted story. Although a bit predictable with one little twist. Be sure to read the other books in the series.

Pleasantly enjoyable

I always enjoy books by Juliet Blackwell and will be darn glad when Mel and Graham finally officially hook up, they've been childishly skirting around having an adult romance. While listening to this book, which was an easy listen, I guessed several times who I thought was the murderer, and each time I was wrong. Way to go Juliet Blackwell, and the fact that you have Xe Sands as the narrator is an excellent choice, I couldn't think of a better person. I highly recommend this book.

"A Bed and Breakfast to die for!"

Our girl Mel uses her gift and turns a bed of nails into a Cozy (and safe) Bed and Breakfast. Another fun little adventure that makes you wish you could see ghosts.

Great, as always

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

There were definitely a few laugh-out-loud moments. Such great writing and storyline. I love this series.

Any additional comments?

Very well written and very well narrated. I would recommend this book, actually the entire series, to friends.
