Sure, the opportunity only arose because the project\u2019s original contractor was arrested for the on-site murder of a county building inspector, and no, Mel\u2019s not entirely sure the police have the right guy in custody, and yes, it seems the monastery\u2019s very aggressive ghosts were imported along with its stones, but none of that\u2019s anything Mel can\u2019t handle \u2013 right?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I love good ghost stories, and boy howdy, does <strong><em>Juliet Blackwell<\/em><\/strong> know how to write them. Every year, I look forward to December and the release of a new <em>Haunted Home Renovation Mystery<\/em>, and <strong>Keeper of the Castle<\/strong> (the fifth installment in this utterly fabulous series) doesn\u2019t disappoint.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">At the heart of <strong>Keeper of the Castle<\/strong> lies a wonderfully clever mystery that seamlessly incorporates both the this- and the otherworldly. Blackwell\u2019s crafted marvelous origin stories for her spooks, taking great care to \u201cflesh\u201d them out just as thoroughly as her corporeal characters. The book&#8217;s skillfully crafted; the first 150 pages or so are dripping with tension, dread, and mounting danger, and the back half is breathlessly paced, filled with thrills, and features a smart and satisfying solution. Blackwell does a great job setting the scene. Thanks to her vivid descriptions and evocative prose, it takes no effort to picture the monastery ruins, the house where Mel\u2019s staying, or the property on which they both sit. And she manages to incorporate a goodly amount of information about gothic and medieval architecture without making it feel like a lecture.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In Mel, Blackwell\u2019s created not only a likable heroine, but a wonderfully engaging narrator, to boot; she\u2019s smart and funny, snarky yet self-deprecating, she makes for marvelous company, and you can\u2019t help but hang on her every word. As much as I love Mel and Blackwell\u2019s other core cast-members, though, perhaps my favorite character in <strong>Keeper of the Castle<\/strong> is Alicia Withers. Alicia\u2019s a relatively minor character \u2013 she\u2019s actually Mel\u2019s boss\u2019 personal assistant \u2013 and it\u2019s almost a guarantee that you\u2019ll hate her on figurative sight; she\u2019s prissy and officious and bossy and judgmental, and did I mention she\u2019s also a bit of a snoop? As with any of us, though, there\u2019s more to Alicia than meets the eye, and the manner in which Blackwell transforms and rehabilitates her character over the course of this book is as impressive as any restoration job Mel Turner\u2019s ever done.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The upshot?
