Blurb:
The sixth in the
delightful cozy mystery series from Diane Kelly set in Nashville, TN—where the
real estate market is to die for.
Some properties are too hot to
handle...
Carpenter Whitney Whitaker and her cousin Buck are
hot for a historical property that has just come on the market—a fire station
in Nashville’s Germantown neighborhood that was built nearly a century ago.
The cousins have just begun the interior
demolition work at the fire station when Joanna Hartzell, who lives in a
townhouse around the corner, comes by with a plea for help. Joanna owns the
right half of her building, which she proudly maintains in perfect condition,
while the left side falls into disrepair: the seven adult children who
inherited it years ago refuse to lift a finger on repairs. Never one to turn
down a challenge, Whitney and Buck manage to acquire the rundown
townhouse—though it turns out Joanna is only one of the many neighbors
interested in buying the property once they’ve worked their magic.
Then Joanna shows up at the fire station confused
and rambling, then collapses, never to recover. Alarm bells go off for Whitney:
she suspects something—and someone—evil could be the real cause. Can she and
Collin put the clues together and smoke out a killer?
My review:
I loved this delightful cozy from
the adorable cover to the very last page.
This episode has Whitney, Sawdust and the gang of usual cohorts taking
on not one but two rehabs and a bunch of family drama most of it not her own. The mystery had me guessing and re-guessing
and I still didn’t peg the killer. An entertaining addition to the series.
