Publisher's summary

House flippers Jack and Juniper agree to lend and help prep their latest purchase - the Doctor's House, an old Victorian mansion - to act as the eerie setting for the town's Halloween bash. They're expecting to find missing floor boards and pesky bats, not the ghostly specter of the murdered doctor's wife. But when the head of the council is found stuffed in a trunk in the attic, it appears history is repeating.

As June and the team carry on with party preparations, they unravel a century of family secrets, whispers of lunacy - and the number-one suspect goes on the run. But the victim's family insists the ball must go on, even with a killer on the loose.

With Halloween fast approaching, June sees the woman in white and wonders if keeping the killer out was ever really a possibility. Now she's desperate to unmask the killer before the annual Halloween bash turns into even more of a deadly haunt....

I will listen again...

Really enjoyable cozy-mystery. Very well written. Well written characters and dialogue. Narrator was excellent and the production quality is high. Can’t wait to listen to more from this author.

I loved it!

What a refreshing and original listen this book by Rachael Stapleton is. I so enjoyed the story! Ellora Sen-Gupta performed it brilliantly. Both the author and narrator were new to me, and they will definitely be on my list to listen to again. I requested this review copy audiobook and have voluntarily written this review. I loved the humor and unexpected twists this book had.

Great Story

This story was fun. It kept me guessing. Loved how the heroine seemed to always find the bodies.

Fantastic book.

This book was fantastic. The story kept me entertained and guessing who the killer was. I was really surprised who the killer was and why. I have read three different books by this author in three different series. However, each series connects with each other. I look forward to more in each of these series. I was gifted this book in exchange for an honest review. I also wanted to say the narrator did a fantastic job.

Great listen

The story is well written and I enjoyed it quite a bit. I look forward to the next book in the series. The narrator does a good job of bringing the story and characters to life.

mystery

story about a house renovation for a Halloween party that turns into a murder mystery. keeps the reader intrigued in the mystery and in the love problems.

House Flippers

I love the cozy mystery genre and especially enjoy the paranormal ones that are being written now. This was a quick, enjoyable listen and I look forward to reading more by this author. The story was wonderful, the characters were great and there was just enough snark to add to the entertainment. I won't soon forget "Miss Big Boobs"!

Jack and Juniper are former lovers and current business partners in a house flipping venture. When they buy a (supposedly) haunted Doctor's mansion, they may have taken on more than they can handle!

There are plenty of dead bodies, both current and past, in this mansion, but what is really happening? Of course, our nosy amateur detective, Juniper, finds herself in the middle of all the intrigue. Add in the tension between her and Jack, the possibility of a new love in Detective Cody and a few flaky friends, and you have the perfect cozy mystery!

The narrator does a good job and made the read even better. I will definitely be looking for more books that Ms. Sen-Gupta has narrated.

Haunted Fun!

I loved how the story all fell together. The characters were interesting and the story kept you entertained. Looking forward to reading more of these books!

An exciting mystery made even better with this narrator

I really enjoyed listening to this mystery which was well written and plotted as well as nicely narrated. I’m a little new to audio books and this is only my second, but I do really like the author’s style as well as the narrator’s voice. I had guessed the killer when the time came and found myself prompting Juniper to do this or not do this, that’s how good the story was!

An interesting cozy mystery!

I had a little bit of trouble getting into this book, but it may have been all on me. The story seemed good with an interesting plot and lots of guessing as to who the killer was, but I found myself having to listen to parts over again to catch what happened. I'm going to go back some time (when life isn't so crazy) and try to listen to the whole thing over again.
This audio book was definitely worth a listen if you like cozy mysteries. The main character's name, Juniper, was unique and will definitely stick with me.
I was given a complimentary copy of this audio book. All thoughts are my own.
