About this listen

Contractor Shannon Hammer steels her nerve to pin down a killer in the latest Fixer-Upper Mystery from the New York Times best-selling author of Premeditated Mortar....

Shannon could not be happier that her hunky thriller-writing boyfriend, Mac, has moved in, and it is a good thing they are living together because they are both busier than ever. Mac is hosting writing retreats at his now vacant lighthouse mansion, while Shannon and her crew build Homefront, a quaint Victorian village of tiny homes for veterans in need. Mac’s latest guests are proving to be a handful, though, and Shannon has heard some grumbling from the luminaries of Lighthouse Cove about her latest passion project. But nothing can throw a wrench in their plans except a malicious murder.

When one of Shannon’s new friends is found brutally bludgeoned with a mallet near the lighthouse on Mac’s property, the couple hammers out a suspect list and searches for a motive. As they drill deeper for clues, more violence strikes and a new victim winds up in a coma. The pressure is on, and Shannon and Mac will have to move fast to find an unhinged killer dead set on demolishing anyone who gets in their way....

Kate Carlisle has done it again with this latest installment. The characters are well developed and seem more like real folks instead of fiction. Jae Delane, as always gave a stellar performance. I highly recommend this to cozy mystery fans.

Another winner

It wasn't so easy to tell who would die & who dunnit as in some mysteries. I like the construction info along the way. I just like Kate's writing!

another good fixer upper!

It's not great but it is definitely better than it was two books ago. I spent too much money on the rear of the series not to listen to them all, so I bit the bullet and dove in.

The narrator is getting better

Another bang-up murder mystery in the Shannon Hammer series! A wonderful plot with lots of moving parts to keep you entertained and intrigued as the various parts start to mesh together into a cohesive mosaic creating a vivid story that is easy to follow! I love the characters and the way they are created to feel like real people that you might encounter in the real world. I can't wait to read what happens in the next book!
