As Richiev said.
Is the film she's making a documentary or a drama of the murder mystery?? If the latter, does it end with a (fictional) "solution" to the murder.? And if so, couldn't the dramatic twist be that? in the process of making the film, she discovers the real solution, the real culprit?? That seems to me would be an interesting hook for the story.? The rest -- her terminal illness, the ghost --?are details for the story,?dramatic elements, ?but don't seem to be what the story is about.
And to my way of thinking, it would be a stronger story?if she solves the mystery entirely?by her own wits, ?in the natural process of making the film -- not through some?supernatural intervention.? The ghost feels kind of gimmicky -- the easy way to?reveal clues, perhaps, but not the most dramatically challenging.? (Other's mileage may vary on that point.)
