Resumen del Editor

Since she bought her rambling fixer-upper of a house, Jacobia Tiptree has gotten used to finding things broken. But her latest problem isn't so easily repaired. Along with the rotting floor joists and sagging support beams, there's the little matter of the dead man in Jake's storeroom, an ice pick planted firmly in his cranium. Jake's unknown guest turns out to be local boy turned billionaire Threnody McIlwaine. When Jake's best friend, quiet and dependable Ellie White, confesses to the murder, cops and journalists swarm into the snowbound Eastport. Jake smells a cover-up, and begins poking into past history between McIlwaine and Ellie's family. But someone doesn't like nosy neighbors...and Jake's rustic refuge may become her final resting place.

Absolutely incredible mystery I absolutely enjoyed this

The dead cat bounce book that I just finished was highly entertaining the amount of twists and turns until the end trying to figure out who was the murderer and why, this was very entertaining.
I hope you enjoy this book as much as I did I really enjoyed the character development and the way the author was so entertaining I finish this book within a day and a half.

fun story

great book. full of twist and turns. I really liked all the characters. they were written out very well. the story line was easy to follow and engaging. the narration was good too. there were some background sounds, but it was not disruptive.

My first read of Sarah Graves! Loved it!!!

Great story. Never guessed the ending. Appreciate seeing and feeling the beauty of the town.. sea and boats
Interesting people. Especially liked the variety of things going on! Learned a bit about the financial world, home repair,
fish ,birds,etc: A mother's love of her son she knew was brilliant but wouldn't "fit in". The love of a dog!
Wonderful narrator!!! Thank you! Looking forward to your next book!

Likable strong characters

I like how this story unfolded slowly but like a familiar walk. The foreshadowing hints were subtle and added to ending- which I appreciated. I think I’m addicted Bs will read more asap!
The narrator was great - felt true to character and kept food pace and tone throughout. Yay for good voiceover artists!

Was so enjoyable!

Storyline was captivating and the narrator was fantastic. The voice changes for each character were so good I’d find myself forgetting it was the same person speaking. Couldn’t stop listening until it was sadly over. Looking forward to the next book and hopeful for the same narrator.

Great story line.

The characters were very interesting as was the mystery. Big surprise ending. I loved the local color and history and the narrator’s accent was spot on. There is a tease at the end about the next book, which I will explore.

eh

I just couldn't get into this story. I think it's because of the narration. There wasn't a lot of inflection, just very boring.

Not that good

Usually don’t write reviews but this was not good only one reference to The Dead Cat Bounce. Too many characters with hatred. Confusing usually police tell person to stay out of an investigation not this time. With so many characters hard to follow till end. It turn out who I thought when I 1st knew about them.

interesting mystery

enjoyed this book. unusual story and a ending that I did not see coming. the only thing I figured out was Sam using the laser.

Nail biter

The book is Excellently written, cleverly twisted and kept me in suspense and guessing, until the end.
