Mystery
Jacobia “Jake” Tiptree left her high-powered career for a
dilapidated fixer-upper and the dream of a quiet existence
in the quaint town of Eastport, Maine. But she found that no
matter how carefully you remodel your life, murder can take
up residence anywhere. It’s Eastport’s most notorious landmark: the old Harlequin
House. Named for the disgraced physician Chester Harlequin,
it was used as a hideout for gunshot gangsters and their
molls during Prohibition’s heyday. Now fixer-upper
enthusiast Jake Tiptree and Harlequin’s only living
descendant, Ellie White, are refurbishing the mansard-roofed
mansion to host the local Historical Society’s upcoming
gala. But when stripping down old wallpaper reveals a secret
door to a room containing not one but two corpses, Jake and
Ellie once again find home repair leading to homicide. One of the bodies is a skeleton dressed in 1920s flapper
chic. But the other is that of real-estate mogul Hector
Gosling, and in his pocket is a paper bearing the single
word “Guilty.” The less-than-scrupulous tycoon has been
poisoned, and when it’s learned that the offending substance
is the poison that Ellie’s husband George has been using to
kill red ants, he is immediately taken into custody. Then it
develops that George had recently accused Gosling of a
scheme to scam George’s vulnerable old aunt out of her life
savings—and George out of his inheritance. With George held
for murder, Jake and a pregnant Ellie swing into action. In between Ellie’s Lamaze sessions, baby showers, and CPR
classes taught by Jake’s ex-husband Victor, the two amateur
sleuths must sift their way through a trail of seemingly
contradictory clues. Then another corpse surfaces and
suddenly Jake and Ellie realize they must find this killer
fast. A clever culprit is not only building an airtight case
against Ellie’s husband. He—or she—is planning to nail
everyone who stands in the way.
