Publisher Description
It began with the mysterious disappearance of Harriet Hollingsworth—Eastport, Maine's snoopiest resident. Everyone is convinced the old busybody bolted out of town to escape her creditor—everyone except Jake and her best friend, Ellie, who suspect otherwise. But they'll need to come up with proof more sinister than a pair of abandoned binoculars. Just as Jake starts poking around for clues, things take a troubling turn for the worse. A suspicious accident nearly kills her teenage son, Sam, and her husband, Wade, just misses getting his head blown off. Jake is prepared to attribute these incidents to a spate of bad luck—until another accident leaves a visitor to Eastport unmistakably dead.

"A home repair nut that I can relate to, jacobia is a seasoned character playing at small-town sleuth. The harbor-town setting and iconic characters keep this hard- broiled mystery afloat. I enjoy the pace but find some of the plot hard to follow. "

" I really enjoyed this Sarah Graves series but the later (more recent) ones have taken a strange turn and I'm not enjoying them as much. Still in all, a good read with characters I know and like. "

" This series just continues to get better. All of the characters continue to flesh out and bring more intersting interaction as the series continues. "

" i love these books. they may not make sense sometimes, but the house-fixing tips that jake gives at the beginning of the chapter is extreamly helpful. "
— Francesca, 3/14/2008 -
" One of the weaker Jake Tiptree novels, but it gives a real flavor of Maine, clearly written by someone who loves Eastport. The characters are fun, and the plot, although weak, was enjoyable. I can empathize as Jake fixes one repair only to find another problem! "
