Synopsis

Driving deep into the woods to her husband's cottage with her best friend in tow, Jake knows she has a challenging week ahead of her. Aside from saying goodbye to paved roads and indoor plumbing, Jake bet her husband that she could finish building the cottage porch in only a few days. But as they set to work, they soon realize that they're not alone. Recently escaped from prison and having fled into the woods, Dewey Hooper recognizes Jake the instant he sees her. Her testimony got him sent away for murder years ago and here he can finally exact his revenge. Determined to make payback look like an accident, Dewey hatches a lethal scheme to ensure neither woman returns to Eastport alive.

Goodreads review by Dany on February 01, 2013

I really wavered on what rating I should give this latest entry in the home repair is homicide books. 3 seems not quite right, 2 not high enough. It was gripping and had a good story.

What would happen if James Patterson, Erma Bombeck, and Bob Villa collaborated to write a book? I can't imagine, but it couldn't be as much of a disaster as this wannabe chic thriller with more subplots than a novel by Dickens. DIY aficionado Jake Tiptree and her sidekick Ellie set out to build a de......more

Goodreads review by Sarahanne on June 06, 2019

There's foreshadowing and then there's telegraphing every move an every glitch that's fixin' to happen. This book was all over the second one. Enough so that I thought "Wouldn't it be great if a bunch of this stuff DIDN'T happen? THAT would be an interesting plot twist." But (spoiler alert) no. Most......more

Tiptree's Tips are just as random and useless as in past books. They're so short and unimportant to the store that I started skipping or tuning them out. Not really a mystery book. More of a drama. You know who the bad guy is right away because it's not even disguised whose point of view that particu......more
