Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

In this multilayered cozy, the 11th in Graves's home repair series (after 2006's Trap Door), Jacobia Jake Tiptree has uncovered what looks to be a very old book while fixing up her 1823 house in Eastport, Maine. Local rare book expert Horace Robotham offers to take a look at it, but then dies in what appears to be a mugging gone wrong. Jake doesn't think too much about this until a stranger drives up to her house three weeks after Horace's death. He introduces himself as a friend of Horace's, says he might have some information about the book and then asks Jake if he can hide a gun in her house. Meanwhile, Jake's father is putting the moves on her sassy housekeeper, Bella. Although the development of minor characters is a little thin, local color and an entirely unexpected denouement combine for engaging reading. (Jan.)

From AudioFile

Do-it-yourself home repair can be a killer, but this eleventh addition to Graves's popular Home Repair Is Homicide series is a delight. Narrator Lindsay Ellison infuses each colorful Maine character with just the right amount of moxie and charm. Jacobia "Jake" Tiptree escapes Manhattan and her former life of laundering "dirty" money to purchase a fixer-upper in Eastport, Maine. After attacking a wall, Jake finds the rambling 1823 home holds a secret book that may have caused the deaths of three people. Lovable Jake's exploits send the listener on a chilling murder mystery. And don't stop before you get to the end--that last step is a doozie. R.O. © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine

1.0 out of 5 stars I never got it........, Oct 24 2009
By Margaret M. Johnson - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
ordered but never arrived so not exactly a fan of this seller. Looked locally and did not find but received other books from other sellers on time so not out of reading material.
