Repair to Her Grave

De: Sarah Graves

Narrado por: Lindsay Ellison

Jacobia Tiptree and her teenage son are used to their Eastport, Maine, home attracting more than its share of houseguests. This year Jake is hoping the plaster dust will keep them away while she finally gets her gem of a fixer-upper into shape - from doorknobs and chandeliers to ghostly phenomena. But when the charming and mysterious Jonathan Raines appears on her doorstep and then just as suddenly disappears, remodeling the house becomes the least of Jake's problems.

Could Jonathan's disappearance have something to do with his quest for a cursed violin that local legend says was hidden by a long-ago owner of Jake's house before he too vanished without a trace? Jake needs to strip Eastport's past of its idyllic veneer before a killer paints her very dead indeed!

This is a great read!!!

This is one of the best mysteries I have read in a long time. Like Jacobia I was stumped as to the identity of the villain. I loved the family dynamics between Jacobia, Wade, and her ex husband. The narrator has a perfect accent for the region. She brings the story to life. I have read the previous three books and plan to read the next book as well. As long as Sarah Graves writes like this, I will read the entire series.

love the series

truly enjoying the series.. looking forward to finishing the series.. all the books seem to have a twist. definitely good reads.

inconsistent with previous stories

annoyed with writer. Sheriff had a baby girl in previous story and in this was a baby boy. and what happened to ellie's parents?

Engaging characters

Lots of Maine and Down East references. Characters are engaging. Great descriptors of scenery, the town, the local people, shops, industry.

Repair to the grave

Good listen as always. Sarah Graves is one of my favorite authors. Character and description of their surroundings are well written

Always intriguing mysteries

Engaging story of women unafraid to get involved & make things right. Lots of fun story twist to figure out.
Beautiful descriptions of the locale- makes me want to visit

A Greater Murder Mystery & More

All the characters were well-defined. The mystery was tricky and kept you guessing. In some ways it was a morality play. You got to look into the eyes of people who seemed real somehow. The audiobook version was read by a professional who really knew how to add to a story. I was very well-satisfied with the hours I spent reading and listening to this tale.

Good one

These are definitely NOT cozy mysteries. They deal with some pretty heavy topics, the author seems to be moving away from the humor of the first couple of books and the writing, while leaving something to be desired at times is definitely darker. Jake andEllie are investigating the disappearance of a guest at Ellie’s home as well as on a treasure hunt for a missing violin, which if found would be priceless. Sam is caught in a love triangle and Jake is worried he is showing more traits like his father, Victor. The town remains mired I. Relationships and gossip and Victor is as sleazy as ever!!

Thoroughly enjoyable novel

Loved the story with a mystery included (actually more than one mystery).

The narration was a pleasing voice.

Know What A True Treasure Is!!

Sarah Graves is one of the best expressive explanatory humanitarian story tellers I have ever read!! Really Loved
everything about this story!! How hard life can be for so many. Then how much we all can learn if we have true
friends. To try to understand and truly listen to all those who need help. How amazing life can be everyday when
we love and care about people and animals. This life isn't perfect. Work honest and true! Thank you for your inspiration ! Absolutely love Lindsay Ellison. Perfection Every Word!!!
