With a cheating and greedy ex-husband, a teenage son, and a new job she's struggling in, Rosemary Fernandes does not need any more stress in her life.  Especially the sudden ability to see and communicate with ghosts.  But Keith Laumer bursts into her life anyway and he offers Rosemary a trade.  He'll help her learn the ropes in the world of real estate and all she has to do is figure out how he died.  How hard could that be?As Rosemary digs into the death of Keith, she finds herself being sucked farther and farther into a dark world she didn't even know existed in real estate.  With the help of a police officer, a hot tattoo artist and her best friend, she wades through the greed and jealousy that had surrounded Keith while he was alive, not knowing where she'll end up.  What it eventually comes down to is that it might be someone she knows who killed him.  Will that same person kill her before she has a chance to get to the truth?Filled with action, House Haunting is a fun and suspense filled ghost story.  Mary Merrell does an excellent job of creating a book that grabs the reader's attention and doesn't let go until the very end.  Even with the seriousness of the plot, she is still able to weave humor in amongst the action while keeping the reader glued to the pages trying to guess who killed Keith.  As for the main character, I found it heartwarming to read how she grows throughout the book from an almost devastated and overwhelmed ex-wife into a strong, independent woman who can take care of herself.  I truly enjoyed this book.  I thank the author for providing me with a review copy and I give the book five stars.
