Triple Witch

A Home Repair Is Homicide Mystery

By: Sarah Graves

Narrated by: Lindsay Ellison

Jacobia Tiptree saved her sanity - and her son, Sam - the day she abandoned Wall Street for the seacoast village of Eastport, Maine. In her new home, a charmingly dilapidated fixer-upper, she looks forward to repairing old radiators and restoring antique shutters for years to come. But Jake's hopes of serenity are dashed when tiny Eastport erupts in a crime wave.

Hometown bad boy Kenny Mumford - old flame of Jake's best friend and fellow sleuth, Ellie White - is the first victim. When his corpse washes up on the beach at Prince's Cove, all evidence points to a drowning...except the bullet hole in his forehead. When bodies begin littering the Maine scenery, Jake and Ellie learn that the ante on Kenny's small-town antics has been upped.

Add a pair of unwelcome arrivals - Jake's ex-husband, and an unscrupulous New York ex-money mogul - and you've got a blueprint for more deadly danger than one old house can hold.

Critic reviews

"[T]he cozy details of small-town life and home repair make for an enjoyable read." ( Publishers Weekly)

My new go to books

The more I read into this series the more I like them. Narrator was great (aside from the fact some characters sounds a bit older than what they should be) but it's hard to voice different characters by yourself so I wasn't even upset by that. I've been waiting for the next Nora Roberts book to be published so I decided I would read a few 'new' authors books and I have not been disappointed with this or the Cat Got Your series that I read prior to these. I'm excited to go to the next book now that the ex is seemingly a new permanent and Wade gets funnier and funnier. Can't wait to see what trouble Jake and Ellie get into next.

Second in the series and looking forward more

Would you listen to Triple Witch again? Why?

Yes, great book, a lot of detail

Any additional comments?

I like this kind of book, not too heavy, good humour, enough of a mystery to keep you going.

Great series

Triple Witch

Characters are well developed. Plot seemed convoluted although I enjoyed the story.
Jacobia is accomplished home carpenter, plumber etc in restoration mode hot on the scent murderers and drug dealers.
