The first in a brand-new cozy series from Diane Kelly set in Nashville--where the real estate market is to die for.
WILL THIS KILLER DEAL LEAD TO A DEAD END?
Meet Whitney Whitaker. A hopeless romantic when it comes to real estate, she knows what it takes to find--and flip--the home of one's dreams. A fixer-upper is like catnip to Whitney: she can't resist the challenge of turning an eyesore into a priceless work of art. So when one of her clients decides to liquidate a crumbling property, Whitney seizes the opportunity to purchase it for a song. But soon a curious incident of the cat in the night-time leads to a change in tune. . .
Sawdust is the name of Whitney's cat--of course. Whitney's passion for gut-renovation may be a mystery to him but one thing Sawdust knows for sure is this: Dead bodies don't belong in flower beds. So why is there one in this new, albeit old, house? Now it's up to Whitney, along with the help of hot-and-cold Nashville Police Detective Collin Flynn, to find the truth about what happened before the mortgage property forecloses and Whitney loses her investment. . .and maybe her own life.
My Review:
This book was so fun to read! I enjoyed it so much! Whitney was smart and hard-working, and she didn't deserve what came her way, but she worked her hardest to get through all the difficult situations, and it's like, go, her!
Man, Whitney-and this house-face a lot of problems! Like, everything that could go wrong, did. And that really sucks! I was rooting for her! Especially since it started off so positive, then everything kept happening! It was a not a good situation, but she kept a good outlook and worked really hard. Very admirable of her!
So this book is similar in some ways to the other series that I've read by Diane Kelly, Paw Enforcement, in that Sawdust narrated some chapters. Which was just hilarious, because there were the various monsters-the vacuum, and the smoke alarm. But he was a brave kitty!
I really enjoyed the combination of home improvement and mystery. It's not something that you'd normally put together. But some of her skills and knowledge in the former helped with the later, which is good, given the stakes!
Loved this book, and I can't wait to see where things go in the future!
