There are some book series that are just fun to read, and the House-Flipper Mystery series is definitely on that list. I like the setting, the characters, the mix of light mystery and humor, and the background theme of restoration projects.
I have loved the concept of restoring old houses ever since I was a kid watching This Old House on TV. Bob Villa and Norm were miracle workers in my mind. The first episode they would do a walk through and show holes in walls, wavy floorboards, dust and mildew. And, by the end of the project, the home was restored and beautiful. I wonder how many of those old homes in the East are still going strong with their repairs/renovations still intact?
I think that's why I've always loved this cozy mystery series. It's a skill I will never have, but I love hearing about projects!! Throw in a murder mystery, and I'm in heaven!
This time, Whitney and Buck are taking a break from flipping houses and doing renovation work. They are tasked with renovating the old headmaster's house on the grounds of a closed academy. Of course, there is a sordid tale of murder. And of course they will get sidetracking into investigating it!
I loved this story! It kept my attention from start to finish!
Eagerly awaiting the next book in this series. It's always an enjoyable read!
**I read a review copy of this book from St Martins Press. The opinions in this review are entirely my own.**
