Mel (Melanie) had dreams of moving to Paris after her divorce. But, life has a way of changing that. After her mom's sudden death and he dad's step back from his construction company, she finds herself in change. She has a knack/talent for restoring historic homes. After agreeing to help out a friend (Matt), the murder of Matt's business partner happens.
Mel finds herself being visited by Kenneth's ghost. It turns out her mom had some type of ability and as a child Mel had a friend no one else could see. I liked that Mel is in an unconventional profession for a woman and she is good at what she does. People take direction from her. The interaction between Mel's dad and his friend Stan, Mel's (ex) stepson Caleb and his friend Dylan was fun to read. Decent mystery and I liked Mel's acceptance of her ability. I did think she was too trusting at times. Be interesting if anything happens with Graham.
