Thanks to
her dead ex-husband, Carly had to return to the same crap town she’d swore she’d
never come back to. The bastard!
But it helps
to come back when your dead ex gives you a free house. Yeah buddy! For most,
this was like winning the lottery. But then there were a few that were none too
happy like the dead guy’s wife (stripper he left Carly for) and his family that
had the house for generations.
There have
also been some recent attacks on women and Carly wasn’t so sure she wanted the
house anymore. “I was about to move into a creepy, weird Victorian that sat at
the very top of a deserted hill with a murderer on the loose.” (7) Can you say
realty listing?
And if that
wasn’t enough, it turns out her dead ex was haunting the place. Great. And he
needs her help to solve his murder. Murder? I thought it was a heart attack
that did him in. Still, there would need to be some explaining to do about the
bones in the yard and the missing strippers.
I liked
Carly’s snarky wit and humor. This was a pretty good mystery, but it got kind
of loopy as it goes into the long history, which I think might’ve complicated
things a bit too much. Accusing the dead ex of murder? Really?
Interesting
mystery.
My rating: 3 stars
