Blackwell is a professional at skirting these types of issues and allowing readers to enjoy and get to know new characters without making them so dislikable as to be affronted. The introduction of new characters is always fraught with pitfalls. As for Lando, Mel’s finance, he is protective but not smothering so, and it is obvious that he loves and cares about Mel. As characters, they are wonderfully human the dynamic between father and daughter is filled with everything real parents and children experience.
The latest addition to the “Haunted Home Renovation” series from Juliet Blackwell, The Last Curtain Call, may be the best one yet! As someone who has renovated many houses, I can relate easily to Mel and her father. Genre: Cozy Mystery /Paranormal/Renovation Series: Haunted Home Renovation – Book #8 When Mel discovers that the former owner of the Crockett Theatre died under mysterious circumstances and that there just might be a connection to the ghost haunting her own attic, the case takes a new turn-one that could bring down the curtain for the last time Meanwhile, Mel and her fiancé, Landon, are remodeling an old house for themselves, and Mel finds being on the other side of a home renovation project more challenging than she expected. When one of the squatters is found dead, the police department has a long list of suspects to investigate. But there’s a catch for Turner Construction: Several artists are currently squatting in the building, and they aren’t the only ones haunting the once-grand halls of the historic theater so are the ghosts. Mel Turner can’t resist the chance to bring the Crockett Theatre, a decrepit San Francisco Art Deco movie palace, back to life.
