Murder at the Bellamy Mansion — Ellen Elizabeth Hunter

While enjoying her honeymoon, historic preservationist Ashley Wilkes is summoned back home when sniper fire hits a handyman working at her newest project. Ashley and her husband Jon have been hired to restore the belvedere atop Wilmington's magnificent old Bellamy Mansion. The only trouble she anticipated was rotting wood and mold. Instead, she's coping with accidents, sabotage and murder.

It seems the historic mansion is caught in a legal battle over property rights. Documents dating back more than a hundred years have surfaced and now a wealthy foreigner is determined to buy the mansion outright. A guest dies mysteriously at a fund-raiser. A body is found floating in the old cistern. Ashley can't stand by and wait for more bodies to pile up. Even if it means taking on a killer with some deadly unfinished business.
