The first in a brand-new cozy series from Diane Kelly
set
in Nashville—where the real estate market is to die for.
WILL THIS KILLER DEAL LEAD TO A DEAD END?
Meet Whitney Whitaker. A hopeless romantic when it comes to
real estate, she knows what it takes to find—and flip—the
home of one’s dreams. A fixer-upper is like catnip to
Whitney: she can’t resist the challenge of turning an
eyesore into a priceless work of art. So when one of her
clients decides to liquidate a crumbling property, Whitney
seizes the opportunity to purchase it for a song. But soon
a
curious incident of the cat in the night-time leads to a
change in tune. . .
Sawdust is the name of Whitney’s cat—of course. Whitney’s
passion for gut-renovation may be a mystery to him but one
thing Sawdust knows for sure is this: Dead bodies don’t
belong in flower beds. So why is there one in this new,
albeit old, house? Now it’s up to Whitney, along with the
help of hot-and-cold Nashville Police Detective Collin
Flynn, to find the truth about what happened before the
mortgage property forecloses and Whitney loses her
investment. . .and maybe her own life.
I enjoy mysteries and the title Dead as a Door Knocker and a cat named Sawdust instantly drew my attention. This sounds like the type of book I enjoy reading. (Anna Speed 8:34pm February 11, 2019)
