The Book of Old Houses by Sarah Graves
Once upon a time, Jacobia Jake Tiptree was a hotshot money manager to Manhattan's rich and dreadful--until she left city life behind for a centuries-old fixer-upper in the quaint seaside town of Eastport, Maine. But even this tiny haven has its hazards--and they can be astonishingly deadly. What would you do if a long-buried book was unearthed from beneath your 1823 fixer-upper--a book containing your name written in blood? That's the mystery Jacobia Jake Tiptree faces in the midst of her latest old-house renovations. But it's only the first in a town better known for its scenic views and historic homes than its body count. Now Jake is putting aside her hammer and fixing to find someone who's got the blueprint for a perfect murder. Complete with Home Repair Is Homicide Repair TipsSarah Graves and her husband dwell in an 1823 Federal-style home in Eastport, Maine, the setting for her mystery novels. She's working on her next Home Repair Is Murder novel when she's not scraping, painting, glazing, sanding, hammering, or otherwise fixing (or failing to repair!) the old house.
