Home Repair is Homicide Series by Sarah Graves
Home Repair is Homicide #14
Knockdown
Sarah Graves
Jacobia “Jake” Tiptree is deep in her latest home improvement project—repainting the porch of her lovingly restored house in Eastport, Maine—when she notices the man repeatedly biking past her house. His face is unsettlingly familiar, but his chilling message seems inexplicable: Blood shows up again. Murder will out. Then there’s the anonymous email warning her to beware the Fourth of July—just two days away. Jake remembers some shady characters from her days as a hotshot financial manager, but she’s baffled as to the identity of her nemesis—until she receives a photo of a murdered man. From home invasion to kidnapping, this twisted killer is slowly but surely plotting a knockdown, not just for Jake but for the entire town of Eastport.BONUS: This edition includes an excerpt from Sarah Graves's Dead Level.ReviewPraise for Sarah Graves and the Home Repair Is Homicide series“Think Diane Mott Davidson with a tool belt instead of recipes.”—The Denver Post“Like a runaway home renovation project, the appeal for her books keeps getting larger."—Milwaukee Journal Sentinel“Just hearing her list the ways you can kill yourself fixing up an old house . . . is a hoot.”—The New York Times Book Review“What distinguishes the novel are its likable, no-nonsense protagonist-narrator, her references to home repair that the author cleverly fits tongue-and-groove into the story and, especially, the detailed descriptions of the town.” —Los Angeles Times“Graves makes rehabbing shutters and other chores suspenseful.” —The Boston Globe “Nail-biting suspense that ensnares the reader . . . full of courageous women and compelling action.
