Haunted to Death

 

Haunted to Death by Frank Anthony Polito (2024) 294 pages

Peter and his fiancé, JP, host a hit reality TV show called Domestic Partners, where they find and restore old houses in a Detroit suburb. JP's background as an actor helps, as does Peter's background as a writer. Their current project is to restore an old manor home that has been vacant for many years. 

Fiona Forrest has just turned 25 and learned the manor is now hers. Her parents were heirs to a fortune, but unhappy in marriage. They had hosted a Halloween party 25 years ago, when her mother turned 25, and her mother fell (or was pushed) to her death from a balcony during the party. Not long after that, her father and his second wife were killed on their honeymoon. Fiona was raised by her nanny and her husband, and not told about her background until recently.

Now, Peter and JP and their crew are at the manor, and weird things keep happening. Some vandalism and some ghostly sightings have caused some injuries and some near misses. Is the place haunted?

A funny novel written with a share of suspense in a zippy style.
