Nosy Bones (Paperback or Softback)

Everyone knows that buying a house is a huge endeavor. Well, apparently everyone but Jessie's friend, Evan. When he buys a foreclosure, seemingly out of the blue, Jessie is concerned that the house looks like it might blow over with the first big wind. Add to that the giant rats, a closet full of creepy dolls and a former owner who refuses to leave, and it seems like things couldn't get much worse.

Can Jessie join forces with the seniors and track down this dangerous killer? Or is this well-meaning group poking their way to a collision course with death?
