Publisher's summary

Jaime and Henry were the perfect couple with the perfect life; together, they ran one of the most successful construction and interior design companies in all of Charlotte, North Carolina. But when Jaime catches her charismatic husband in an affair, she realizes her husband is not the man she thought she married. The divorce is equally gutting—due to an ironclad prenuptial agreement, she receives only one thing: a historical house in disrepair. Knowing that any renovation she attempts will be tedious and costly, she starts to believe that things can’t get much worse—until she finds a dead body in the house.

The body is found behind a recently renovated wall—and this leaves Jaime with more questions than answers. Who killed this person and why? Could it have been the previous owners, someone who snuck in while nobody was looking, or Henry? Furious that the house is now a crime scene, which further delays all renovations, she decides to investigate the murder herself, DIY-style. Together with the new resident cat she calls Demo and the handsome and friendly hardware store owner who happens to be her neighbor, she is ready to use all the tools in her toolbox to catch the killer.

Jaime needs to renovate this house if she wants to move forward with her life, but will this murder investigation leave her in ruins—or worse?

Refreshing!

I like this book and can't wait for the next one. It was nice to listen to a book where the main character wasn't the suspect. I loved the narrator's voice, the plot, and the ending.

Overall good

I really enjoy the story and like the characters. It was only one part towards the end, when the character does something really stupid that I didn’t care for I just don’t think that smart sleuth would hide inside a place where a previous murder took place but other than that it was a good story if you want something fun to listen to you for a few hours this is definitely a book. If there is a second one, I would listen to it.
