Murder Can Haunt Your Handiwork is the third installment in the A Haunted Craft Fair Mystery series featuring Celeste Cabot and her tiny Chihuahua, Van Gogh. Celeste has brought her paintings and her pink trailer to the grounds of the Biltmore Estate for the annual craft fair. Accompanying Celeste much to her dismay is her entire family: her parents, her clumsy brothers and her feisty grandmother.

Celeste decides to take a tour through the Vanderbilt mansion and is shocked when one of the tour guides is found strangled by a rope barrier. Heading back to her trailer, Celeste finds herself painting a picture of a man and when the ghostly man appears he claims to be Mr. Vanderbilt - but is he really?

A quick but somewhat disappointing read. Celeste's actions in a strange place hunting down a killer are reckless, there is really no clear explanation of why the mysterious man in the painting appears to help Celeste, the killer is pretty clear from the outset and the love triangle between Celeste, Caleb and Pierce sadly continues.
