Publisher's summary

Murder is on the to-do list when construction contractor Shannon Hammer looks for a killer in the fifth Fixer-Upper Mystery....

At the annual Victorian Home and Garden Tour, Lighthouse Cove, California's premier contractor, Shannon Hammer, realizes that the competition is about to turn deadly....

Shannon is in high demand among rival homeowners who will do anything to win Best in Show. One-upmanship and even espionage break out among neighbors, construction crews, decorators, and landscapers. Thanks to several new hires, Shannon is sure she can handle the extra load - until murder throws a wrench in the works.

The small town's corrupt building inspector is found dead on one of Shannon's jobsites, and soon plenty of suspects are coming out of the woodwork. When another body is discovered, Shannon calls on her team of close friends and devilishly astute thriller writer Mac to help her nail down the details and build a case against the killer before the door shuts on someone else - for good.

Don't miss Framed for Murder, a Hallmark Movies and Mystery Original starring Jewel, based on the Fixer-Upper Mystery series!

Fun series

Interesting series. But frustrating to the reader as the relationship between Shannon and MAC never seems to really progress. In a way this series is like the Stephanie plum Janet Evanovich ‘s books where the murder plot is good, but s a reader I would have liked the relationship to progress beyond high school dating with a few kisses, handholding and hugs. I like that Shannon is a strong female lead in a successful male dominated occupation, but Mac & Shannon have good chemistry and the relationship should be more adult, especially if the series is in romance genre.

Better than the last book!

I have listened to this whole series & the last book was a dud. I had hoped it was a fluke, and it seems it was, because this book was back to its usual greatness! The narration was great, the story was compelling with twists & turns. An enjoyable cozy listen

these are better than the show......

These are better than the Hallmark specials as the characters have different endings etc. i have cataracts and can’t read very well but the Audible books help to bring the story to life. Good narrators are the key.

Great listen

The story is a great light mystery. Angela Starling makes the characters come to life; I very much enjoy her narrations.

Good stories-narration needs work

These books are great, but the narration has much to be desired. The narrator does a great job with the female parts, but her male voices just don't cut it. Most of them sound like squeaky pubescent boys. Get a male narrator for the male parts, please.

Oh, Those Victorian Homes!

In this episode, our heroine and the town of Lighthouse Cove are preparing for the annual home show. The town is filled with marvelous old Victorians and everyone is polishing them in an attempt to win. This is one of those cases where the author's descriptions of these ornate homes really shines. Of course, I would love photographs...but I guess that's tough to do with fictional homes! The mystery is not as easily figured out from the start as in previous novels, although there are plenty of clues. All in all, it was still rather enjoyable once solved. And our dear heroine is racking up the body count. Glad I'm not her. I definitely wouldn't care to keep running into all of those dead bodies! On the romance side, the relationship between her and her fellow seems to be heating up, but they still haven't reach a stage of intimacy. Makes one wonder if they are simply good friends....

a shocking ending and a marvelous book

the narrator does an awesome job with this book, in fact so awesome that my cat enjoyed listening to this with me at night... Seems he likes the voice of the narrator Angela starling. hard to write a review without giving away the best parts of this book. however, if you love books for you cannot figure out the ending until you are at the ending then this is a must read or listen to. I've read other books in a different series by this author and this series I have listened to exclusively on audio books so far. Carlisle is able to create a setting in her books based on fact which obviously comes from doing ones homework. Carlisle's way of writing will have you seeing the settings which for me helps put me into the story in a way that makes it more real. listen to this book to find out who wins the Victorian House contest and find out how they get to the end for that winner to be announced
