The Book of Old Houses

The Home Repair Is Homicide Mysteries, Book 11

By: Sarah Graves

Narrated by: Lindsay Ellison

When a mysterious book is unearthed from the foundation of Jake's 1823 fixer-upper, she immediately sends it off to local book historian Horace Robotham. After all, there must be a logical explanation for why the long-buried volume has her name in it - written in what looks suspiciously like blood. But all logic goes out the window when the book disappears - and Horace turns up dead.

When two more victims turn up in a town better known for its scenic views and historic homes than its body count, Jake and her comrade-in-sleuthing, Ellie White, need to go on the prowl to find someone who may believe the pages of an ancient book are the blueprint for a perfect murder.

Such a fun ending!

I have listened to the whole series, and the ending of this one was really the most fun of any of them. I highly recommend it!

Another compelling mystery

Twists and turns and surprises! Love this series, I will be sad when it ends.

A Rare Classy, Modest Murder Mystery

I love how there’s no swearing or explicitly sexual material in Sarah’s masterfully crafted tales

The Book of Old Houses

The Book of Old Houses.

To much information given concerning bath tub. Felt like it drug the story down. Overall good story.

solid story telling

I like the series so much that I become irritated that she hasn't written other books covering topics I would love to hear about like the death of her husband or her wedding. The story is unconventional in what it chooses to focus on
