Mel Turner’s Construction Company is expert at renovating old building. Now
she has two projects. She and Landon, her boyfriend, have purchased
an old house they plan to live in. Thing are going well, except Mel
is finding that it’s not always easy to negotiate the details of a
new renovation when you’re seriously involved with one of the
partners. Maybe it’s a good training for marriage.
She’s also
involved with the restoration of the rundown Cockett Theater. When
she finds Hildy, a ghost living in the attic of her old house, the
two restorations come together. Add in the murder or a squatter in
the old theater and the stage is set for an interesting time,
particularly because the previous owner of the theater died under
mysterious circumstances.
This, as the
previous books in this series, is a fun read. Mel is a true artisan
bringing old houses to life. The fact that she can see and visit with
some of the previous occupants is a bonus. In this story, Hildy, once
a starlet, now living in the attic with her gorgeous dresses, is a fun
character. She brings to life the old theater. However, the murder of
a squatter in the theater is what keeps the story moving.
I enjoyed the
characters and found the interaction between Mel and Landon over the
renovations in their house very realistic.
I received this book
from Berkley Publishing Group for this review.
