Alison Kerby is freshly divorced mother of a nine year old who has moved back to her home town and bought an old Victorian to renovate and make into a guesthouse (NOT a Bed & Breakfast -- she doesn't cook). Shortly after she starts her work, a strange occurrence takes place -- a bucket of compound lands on her head and she starts seeing ghosts. After this she discovers that her mother has always been able to see and speak with ghosts and her daughter as well. Alison bought the house based on the fact that it had 7 bedrooms and would be relatively easy to transform into a guesthouse. It was only discovered later that the previous owner had been found dead in the home with a private investigator. According to police reports, they had committed suicide. This was a wonderful romp through small town New Jersey shore -- part home make-over, part paranormal ghost whisperer. However, despite my poor verbalization, it was a well-done mystery with great characters and a good story. I would recommend this mystery for a quiet weekend on the porch or in front of the wood stove (it just depends on the season!)
