From the New York Times bestselling author of the
Bibliophile Mysteries and A High-End Finish comes the second
Fixer-Upper Mystery...
Contractor and part-time sleuth Shannon Hammer specializes
in improving the quirks and flaws of the Victorian homes in
Lighthouse Cove, California. The quirks and flaws of their
residents are another story....
Valentine’s Day is approaching, and while Shannon is
delighted to be friends with not one but two handsome men,
not everyone in town is feeling the love. After her elderly
neighbor Jesse Hennessey fails to make his daily appearance
at the local diner, Shannon swings by his place to check on
him. Not only does she find Jesse dead—of an apparent heart
attack—but she also realizes that his home has been ransacked.
Someone suggests that a thief was searching for a priceless
necklace Jesse claimed to have retrieved from a capsized
sailing ship, but Shannon doesn’t believe it. Everyone knows
Jesse had a penchant for constructing tall tales—like the
one about him having a hot new girlfriend. But his death is
soon ruled a homicide, and shady suspects begin popping out
of the woodwork. When another victim turns up dead, Shannon
is convinced she must find the killer before someone else
gets nailed....
