Publisher's summary

A house with good bones...

Whitney Whitaker has scored the perfect piece of real estate: a ramshackle white Colonial at the top of a hill with views of downtown Nashville. What more could a self-taught home-improvement maven and occasional house flipper ask for?

Ideally, the property of Whitney's dreams would not have come with a dead body blocking the entrance to the foyer. But Whitney, always quick to take heavy duty matters into her own hands, also happens to be a skilled amateur sleuth. So that helps.

...and skeletons in the closet

Who is this older woman - and how did her corpse end up at the bottom of the staircase of this locked, unoccupied house? That is what Whitney, along with the support of her wood-working cousin Buck, Detective Collin Flynn, and, of course, feline partner-in-crime Sawdust, intends to find out.

Her friendly-neighbor investigation takes a sharp turn, however, when Whitney discovers that the house's former owner was a gourmet baker whose secret recipe for peach pie was to die for - perhaps literally. Now it's up to Whitney to learn the truth about what happened before she loses this killer real-estate deal...and the killer comes knocking at her door.

Another winner

Diane Kelly has done it again with this installment in the series. All the usual characters are present with a few new ones added in to the mix.

The mystery was intriguing and had me guessing until the very end. It had laugh out loud moments and drama. This is my favorite In this series so far.

Courtney Patterson gave a standout performance as she brought the storyline to life and was quite able to let you differentiate between characters.

I highly recommend this book/audiobook to cozy mystery fans.

Clean light hearted murder mystery.

I like this author s stories, but do not like the repeated sound effects, like "knock knock knock" or the tapping of the hammer. Also sometimes she acts like we are too dumb to understand unless she explains. But love her characters and the ckean language.
