Jacobia “Jake” Tiptree still left her high-powered job for a dilapidated fixer-upper and the dream of a quiet living in the quaint town of Eastport, Maine. But she discovered that no subject how carefully you redesign your life, murder can take up residence everywhere.
It’s Eastport’s most notorious landmark: the old Harlequin House. Known as for the disgraced medical professional Chester Harlequin, it was used as a hideout for gunshot gangsters and their molls during Prohibition’s heyday. Now fixer-upper enthusiast Jake Tiptree and Harlequin’s only living descendant, Ellie White, are refurbishing the mansard-roofed mansion to host the local Historical Culture’s approaching gala. However when stripping down old wallpaper uncovers a secret door to an area containing not just one but two corpses, Jake and Ellie once more find home repair leading to homicide.
One of the physiques is a skeleton dressed in 1920s flapper fashionable. However the other is that of
real-estate mogul Hector Gosling, and in his pocket is a newspaper bearing the solitary phrase “Guilty.” The less-than-scrupulous tycoon has been poisoned, and when it’s found that the offending product is the poison that Ellie’s husband George has been using to kill red ants, he is immediately used into custody. Then it produces that George had just lately accused Gosling of the scheme to fraud George’s susceptible old aunt out of her life savings—and George out of his inheritance.
With George placed for murder, Jake and a pregnant Ellie swing action into action. In between Ellie’s Lamaze sessions, baby showers, and CPR classes trained by Jake’s ex-husband
Victor, both amateur sleuths must sift their way through a trail of apparently contradictory clues. Then another corpse areas and all of a sudden Jake and Ellie realize they need to find this killer fast. A clever culprit isn't only building an airtight case against Ellie’s husband. He—or she—is planning to nail everyone who stands in the manner.
