Synopsis

Spring has sprung in Eastport, Maine, and in Jacobia Jake Tiptree's 1823 Federal style fixer-upper, that means a housecleaning so thorough even the skeletons in the closet get polished! But nothing can prepare Jake for what she'll uncover: a trio of mysteries certain to make her usual home repair projects seem as simple as scraping paint. What do an old book hidden in Jake's cellar, the appearance of her ex-husband's ghost, and the murder of her housekeeper's son have in common? Only Jake can jigsaw the clues into place—and she'd better do it fast, before a killer snares her in a trap she can't escape.

Stop the Madness! Most of the time a better story line for these characters could be explored. But, not......more

Goodreads review by Deb on November 26, 2021

Both this book and its predecessor are 3.5, just shy of 4. Jake has begun to grapple with some of the demons in her history, some of which are likely to be at the root of certain personality issues I've seen more than one fellow reader bothered by. But that history hides more than one dragon yet to......more
