A Home Repair Is Homicide Mystery

By: Sarah Graves

Narrated by: Lindsay Ellison

The infamous Dodd murders are hardly among Eastport's proudest legacies. So when best-selling true-crime author Carolyn Rathbone arrives to research the case for a new book, the locals in the seaside town let her know that she's about as welcome as a spoiled clam. But surely no one would harm a crime writer out of a sense of civic pride--or would they?

Jake has her own problems, from the mysteries of old-house insulation to an anonymous caller plaguing her with death threats. But with Carolyn's arrival, the slayings of the wealthy Dodd women suddenly go from cold case to hot topic - much to someone's dismay. For Carolyn Rathbone's untimely investigation has unearthed a string of deadly secrets that a cunning killer is grimly determined to rebury, right along with Carolyn herself.

Ehhh

These got worse as the series went on. Maybe the author was getting tired of her characters

Slight change

With the books in this series, there is a slight change it seems to me. She does let the cops talk more and lets them try to get something done first but who allows anyone to question suspects? The main character still tells everyone to shut up we are doing my way and always is angry as she does it. Then her way gets them into trouble every time! Makes it worse for anyone who is with her. Sigh when does she learn her actions causes her loved ones pain. If i was her friend/family I would not do anything with her because my life is always at risk and she also has to have it her way all the time. I was hoping that this would change a growth in the this series that the main character would learn either by a friend or family member saying look stay away from me, you put me and my family at risk by thinking you know everything when you don't and until you give this up we can not see each other again.

Amazing read.

I loved the animated characters, and am constantly surprised by the quality of writing that takes me into the story.

The ladies being the primary characters

I love all the booked in this series. The characters are so real and it feels like home.

Not Sarah's best

I have listened to, and enjoyed, all of Sarah Graves's Home Repair Is Homicide mysteries. This one, however, bored me to tears. I will finish it, because I've already invested so much time in it, but I'm really in a hurry to see it end. I don't know how it's going to end, but I just found myself thinking "kill her already, gees!" This is just too much cat-and-mouse. The bright spot is Lindsay Ellison's narration; as always, she is perfection.

Great thriller

Keeps you in Spence through out the book. who will die???? who done it? Friend or foe.

Character name

How can Jake, Sam and the previous character Victor all have the last name Tiptree and then Jake’s father also have the same last name. I noticed this in other books prior to this one.

Story and narrator are outstanding!

I’ve listened to all of Sarah Graves’s series so far. They just keep getting better! And Lindsay Ellison is absolutely perfect in her narration! From her accurate Maine accent (I lived there) to her emotive reading, I couldn’t stop listening.

Very good murder mystery! I loved it! there was a lot of action and conniving people.

Too Dark, too drawn out

Normally I really enjoy her books, but this was too drawn out, too creepy for me to enjoy
