Basit Deniau's houses were haunted to begin with.
A house embedded with an artificial intelligence is a common thing: a house that is an artificial intelligence, infused with a thinking creature that is not human? That is something else. But now Deniau's been dead a year, and Rose House is locked up tight, as commanded by the architect's will: all his possessions and files and sketches are confined in its archives, and their only keeper is Rose House itself. Rose House, and one other.
Dr. Selene Gisil, one of Deniau's former protege, is permitted to come into Rose House once a year. Until this week, Dr. Gisil was the only person whom Rose House spoke to.
But even an animate intelligence that haunts a house has some failsafes common to all AIs. For instance: all AIs must report the presence of a dead body to the nearest law enforcement agency.
There is a dead person in Rose House. Rose House, having completed its duty of care and informed Detective Maritza Smith of the China Lake police precinct that there is in fact a dead person inside it, dead of unnatural causes-has—shut up.
No one can get inside Rose House, except Dr. Gisil. And someone died there. And someone may be there still.

Plot doesn't grow or reveal much about motives or rose house or the potential for AI cities. why is it called a haunt? why why why?
Bad Plot

However, if you are careful, you totally ignore the stupid and contrived elements (such as experienced police go to investigate a suspicious death and neither of them are armed)! The male detective completely trusts an unknown female and takes her to the potential crime scene and worst of all abandons his partner at the crime scene one can dig a couple of pretty good ideas out of this whatever it is.
Recommendation, if you feel you must, get it from your local library. Personally, I wish I had my $7.95 back.
