Hattie Kavanaugh went to work restoring homes for Kavanaugh & Son Restorations at eighteen, married the boss’s son at twenty, and became a widow at twenty-five. Now, she’s passionate about her work, but that’s the only passion in her life. “Never love something that can’t love you back,” is advice her father-in-law gives her, but Hattie doesn’t follow it and falls head-over-heels for a money pit of a house. She’s determined to make it work, but disaster after disaster occurs, and Hattie’s dream might cost Kavanaugh & Son their livelihood. Hattie needs money, and fast.

When a slick Hollywood producer shows up in her hometown of Savannah, Georgia, she gets a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity: star in a beach house renovation reality show called The Homewreckers, cast against a male lead who may be a love interest, or may be the ultimate antagonist. Soon, there’s more at stake than bad pipes and dry rot: during the demolition, evidence comes to light that points to the mysterious disappearance of a young wife and mother years before.

With a burned out detective investigating the case, an arsonist on the loose, two men playing with her emotions, and layers upon layers of vintage wallpaper causing havoc, it's a question of who will flip, who will flop, and if Hattie will ever get her happily-ever-after.

Great Read!!

loved this book, it really kept my attention and loved the setting Tybee is my favorite place in the world.

Fun story

I live Mary Kay Andrews books. I’ve read many of them. I loved the murder mystery. I do feel that the love between Mo and Hattie didn’t really develop well throughout the story. It was almost like an afterthought. All of a sudden they are madly in love and he moved across the country for her at the end….but I didn’t see this deep love develop in the story. It was more like a little crush. Maybe it was just me. I still absolutely recommend this story.

Best Summer Beach Book

Great Summer Listen

This is a good summer listen. It is not too heavy and is easy to follow. I await Mary Kay Andrews spring/summer release every year and start my summer with it. I love that she sticks to Tybee and the surrounding areas as her setting. Having been to Tybee I have a perfect visual.

nice plot twist
