Sarah Graves
Home repair can be murder.

I enjoy these books. They are light, quick reads. Entertaining. People come to Eastport, Maine, for a short visit and end up taking up residence there or coming year after year for visits.
Jacobia Tiptree believes she has a haunted house. Jared Hayes, an earlier owner, is supposed to have been a composer and to have had a Stradivarius violing. Jonathan Raines says that Jake has invited her. She can't remember. And he says he wants to look for this violin.

I liked this book better than the last one. More of Jacobia's involvement in small town murders in Eastport, Maine while she struggles with her son Sam's getting ready to leave for college while ex-husband Victor causes more problems for Sam in the romance department. This murder was more convoluted and had me completely fooled by the identity of the murderer.

This is the first book in this series that I have read and I can't wait to read the rest. It's great and extremely funny. It's been quite a while since I've read any cozies other than those by Charlaine Harris and I was/am thrilled to find the Cozy Group and get back into reading them. Light-hearted and good clean fun.Home Repair is Homicide is the name of the series and it's quick and easy to read.

This is a very enjoyable series and the characters are completely real, although Ellie spends far too much time at Jake's place. The plot in this one is a little wild but it makes sense, mostly.
Am listening to this series on audio. Enjoying the Maine accents or the attempts at them. I'm beginning to enjoy this small town in Maine with all its murders.
Another good one in this series. I almost wish I knew the people of this town in real life.
I enjoy this series more and more as I read these books. In some ways it feels like home. Audio.
read out of order, better than the most recent one
Good. Cozy series.
I really enjoy this series :)
I read this one to my Mom and we were eager to finish it tonight, it is my favorite of the series so far. The descriptions of Jacobia's house and the island make you feel like you are there.
This story has a lot of things going on, and is an entertaining read and a challenge! I found it more interesting than some of the books in the series, and it was definitely a challenge to keep track of all that was going on! A good puzzler to try and figure out the mystery!
This book was ok, it seemed to drag on forever. I could not get into it and could have cared less about the characters in it. Don't think that I will read the other books in this series, since there are other cozy series that I have enjoyed much more.
Fun, light-hearted mystery series. Whodunit is mystery to the end.
hmmm...that's all i have to say. it was good.

Sarah Graves lives with her husband John, a musician and luthier, and their black Labrador Retriever in a house very much like the one Jacobia Tiptree is remodeling in Eastport, Maine. When she's not writing Jake's adventures, Sarah works with her husband on the house and she plays the 5-string banjo.
