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.

Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Agatha and Macavity Award-winner Jill Churchill brings murder and mayhem to the suburbs once again (and adds a 13th punny title to the popular series she began with Grime and Punishment) in her good-natured cozy The House of Seven Mables: A Jane Jeffrey Mystery. With parenting demanding less of their time, best pals Jane Jeffrey and Shelley Nowack agree to decorate a house that's being renovated by a bevy of feminist laborers, but when the contractor winds up in the basement with a broken neck, the plucky duo must determine if the crime was personally or professionally motivated not to mention stay out of harm's way themselves.

From Library Journal
Hired by hard-core feminists to decorate a large house, Jane and best pal Shelley (Mulch Ado About Nothing) are hampered by nasty pranks and murder. As usual, Churchill mixes comic relief with traditional sleuthing. For fans and others.

was all right.

Just Plain Silly

"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.

Jane and Shelley are at it again. Another great book.

This book was a disappointment to me. I've read Churchill before, and remembered her work as 'okay'... but this one has some lines, sentences, and conclusions that just don't make sense, IMHO.

I've like the earlier books in this series, but I didn't think this one was as good as the others. Still fun to read, though.

Another entertaining adventure of Jane Jeffry and Shelly Nowack! Just as good as all the others in this series.
