It was boring...peaked at the end to finish it.

I have very much enjoyed the Home Repair is Homicide series, but this installment is a bit different from the others. Darker in tone, it seemed to try for a supernatural bent, that never was resolved (purposefully?). It also has alternating points of view, 1st person Jake and 3rd person from another character, I found it jarring somewhat. I didn't dislike the story, but it wasn't my favorite of the series.

Seems like this book was written by a totally different author. It doest seem to be written like the other Home Repair is homicide books. It is not as good as the rest of the series.

First time read by this author. Enjoyed the book. Obviously nothing too involved, but a relaxing, quick read. Set in rural Maine, touches on renovation of an old house and three murders. Definitely a cozy mystery.
