Melanie Turner has made quite a name for herself remodeling historic houses in the San Francisco Bay Area. But now her reputation may be on the line.

At her newest project, a run-down Pacific Heights mansion, Mel is visited by the ghost of a colleague who recently met a bad end with power tools. Mel hopes that by nailing the killer, she can rid herself of the ghostly presence of the murdered man - and not end up a construction casualty herself....

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I loved this book, it is laugh out loud funny, and full of wonderful details on renovating old houses.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Hard to say who a favorite character would be, I liked them all.

Which scene was your favorite?

I liked the first time the ghost shows himself to Melanie.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I did listen to this book in one sitting. That's the great thing about audiobooks, you're free to do many other things while listening. With hard copy you're tethered to the book and turning the pages.

Any additional comments?

Xe Sands once again does a fantastic job narrating this book. She amplifies the story so well and makes the characters really pop.

Haunted house mysteries rock

Would you listen to If Walls Could Talk again? Why?

Yes, I would. I found that the second listen was actually better than the first.

What other book might you compare If Walls Could Talk to and why?

It was different, I enjoyed the building side and ghosts.

What about Xe Sands’s performance did you like?

At first I thought her words were non distinct. Shortly after I appreciated her manor and she created since of humor.

Nice surprise

In this book you meet Mel, the head of a construction company & soon to be detective. The murder gets set up early on in the book so you dive right in to the "what" aspect of the whodunnit. The "who" part of the equation is slow at first, and you don't really know who to trust. I liked that the murderer wasn't served to the listener on a silver platter, but took real guesswork. The "why" was a bit hit and miss, it makes sense but is somewhat convoluted and drug out. Overall it has an interesting twist with Mel's ability to see ghosts, and the cast of characters are like able. My only qualm is the narrator, every male character sounded exactly the same which made it a little hard to keep up in some scenes. Overall a good listen for a lighthearted cozy.

A good cozy - but not the best narration

Yes. I enjoy audio books because I can do other things while I listen to them.

What other book might you compare If Walls Could Talk to and why?

The E.J. Cooperman series.

Which scene was your favorite?

When she first saw Kenneth.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Any additional comments?

Great story and great narration.

Interesting story

This is pretty lightweight, but it makes a pleasant diversion for summer listening - good choice for the June 2-for-1 credit offering. It doesn't require a long time commitment.

I don't mean this in a bad way. There's a place in most of our reading lives for the modern "cozy" with a bit of mystery, a bit of romance, a bit of humor, and a little bit of information about historic restoration and history. I won't mention a bit of occult, because the "ghost" plot line in "If Walls Could Talk" is basically just silly. I don't know if Blackwell intends to expand this aspect in future books of the series, but it's not taken at all seriously here.

A Nice Change

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

The narrator often spoke in what I would describe as a rapid mumble. Many times I had to hit the "back" button and replay something I hadn't understood-- & sometimes I had to more than once. I liked her style, except for this tendency to be less than intelligible.

Any additional comments?

I enjoyed the story, the setting, the characters.

Fun story

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Heck yes, because the main character is a stand up person who is trying to find herself after divorce and moving in with daddy.

The start do a beautiful series!

If you could sum up If Walls Could Talk in three words, what would they be?

Delightful, educational, addictive

What was one of the most memorable moments of If Walls Could Talk?

Learning about "Emperor" Norton of San Francisco. I love the historical nuggets Blackwell throws into all of her works.

What does Xe Sands bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I love her range of voices and I find her narration very soothing.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

When the main character comforts a dying man - I had the feels.

Any additional comments?

If you like any other Juliet Blackwell works or are a Charlaine Harris fan, this is right up your alley. Blackwell does for San Fran what Harris does for the South. She takes neat ideas and combines them with aspects of the world I seldom ponder - in this instance, historic home renovation. I absolutely get lost in all the facets of Mel's life and delight in every moment!
