Publisher's summary

A house with good bones...

Whitney Whitaker has scored the perfect piece of real estate: a ramshackle white Colonial at the top of a hill with views of downtown Nashville. What more could a self-taught home-improvement maven and occasional house flipper ask for?

Ideally, the property of Whitney's dreams would not have come with a dead body blocking the entrance to the foyer. But Whitney, always quick to take heavy duty matters into her own hands, also happens to be a skilled amateur sleuth. So that helps.

...and skeletons in the closet

Who is this older woman - and how did her corpse end up at the bottom of the staircase of this locked, unoccupied house? That is what Whitney, along with the support of her wood-working cousin Buck, Detective Collin Flynn, and, of course, feline partner-in-crime Sawdust, intends to find out.

Her friendly-neighbor investigation takes a sharp turn, however, when Whitney discovers that the house's former owner was a gourmet baker whose secret recipe for peach pie was to die for - perhaps literally. Now it's up to Whitney to learn the truth about what happened before she loses this killer real-estate deal...and the killer comes knocking at her door.

Clean light hearted murder mystery.

I like this author s stories, but do not like the repeated sound effects, like "knock knock knock" or the tapping of the hammer. Also sometimes she acts like we are too dumb to understand unless she explains. But love her characters and the ckean language.

Love the story and narrator!

I love all of her books. Courtney Patterson is the best narrator I have heard from any book or book series I have listened to on audible.
