Search - The House of Seven Mabels (Jane Jeffry, Bk 13)

Jane and Shelley try their hand as decorators for a group of feminists. The contractor, a woman, of course, ends up in a heap on the basement floor and no one, man or woman, liked her. All had one motive or another to see her go away but the perpetrator is a big surprise! I thoroughly enjoyed this quick read. Love Ms. Churchill's novels!

Jane Jeffry has agreed to help with the redecorating of an old mansion by an all- woman crew. Soon one of the women is dead and the many other things are going wrong.

was all right.

"Homemaking" is about to take on a whole new meaning for Jane Jeffery, now that she's agreed to help the prosperously divorced Bitsy Burnside restore and redecorate a decrepit old neighborhood mansion. Bitsy's decision to employ an almost all-woman crew has prompted Jane's quick-witted best bud Shelley Nowack to dub the project, "the House of Seven Mabels"-but it's also engendered some nasty ill will. And when what begins as a series of anonymous, mean-spirited "pranks" ends up leaving one of the workwomen lying dead at the foot of a staircase, Jane and Shelley decide to try and nail the assassin. But the more Jane saws away at the truth, the more it appears that she may be painting herself into a corner, leaving herself no exit if a crafty killer decides to make Jane Jeffery the next demolition project.

This is a great book and an easy read.

Jane and her best friend Shelley are at it again.

A quick, fun read.
