Skeletons in the closet? Try one in the backyard—with an extra hand.

Just when I thought the worst was behind me—renovation disasters, a stalker, and falling for the world’s most distracting handyman—my house coughs up another shocking secret: a buried skeleton… with five fingers too many.

Now the backyard’s a crime scene, my dreams are filled with nightmares, and my once-charming fixer-upper feels more like a haunted trap. But if I can uncover the truth behind this new, bone-chilling mystery, maybe I can finally lay the house’s dark past to rest.

Too bad Westport has other plans.

Between Ed—the ridiculously good-looking cop who keeps showing up at the worst moments, a flock of wildly inappropriate seniors with zero boundaries, and Bradley the smooth-talking tour guide who knows more than he lets on—keeping my sanity intact is a full-time job. Oh, and did I mention someone’s trying to kill me again?

As the mystery deepens, so do my feelings for Riley. But with secrets lurking in every shadow, I’m starting to wonder: can I really build a future here… or am I next in line to be buried?

Give Murder a Hand is the second laugh-out-loud installment in The Westport Romantic Mysteries, perfect for fans of small-town charm, heartwarming romance, and twisty whodunits with a dangerous edge
