Home for the Homicide (A Do-It-Yourself Mystery, #7)

by Jennie Bentley

In this Do-It-Yourself mystery series that's perfect for lovers of HGTV home renovation shows, a designer will attempt to put the finishing touches on a decades-old mystery.

Avery Baker was a big city textile designer, until she inherited her aunt’s old Maine cottage and found her true calling—home renovation. But she never expected her latest job would come to such a bone-rattling dead end...

For Avery and her husband Derek, renovating the Craftsman Bungalow was like stepping back in time. The quaint old home was just as its original owners had left it—from the beautiful butler’s pantry to the surprisingly exquisite ribbon tile. But it’s the attic that yields the most heart-stopping surprise.

In a discreetly hidden antique crate, Avery finds a clue to a decades-old missing persons case. As Avery works on the house and delves deeper into the sinister story, it becomes clear that someone very crafty wants the Craftsman home’s secrets to stay that way!

Not a bad book, overall I enjoyed it. I like to catch up with Avery and the gang more than the mystery, so it didn't bother me that it was pretty easy to figure out. I can't help but think that it feels like there was a lot of filler to stretch the story out. But still an enjoyable read, and a series I look forward to continuing.
