Whoa
Not sure Jaocbia was expecting all this when she moved to get a fresh start from the New York fast lane but also what went on with her husband. This was a good start for series. It gave me a bit of information of everyone of the neighbors and Jacobia was well. I can't wait to see how this will progress throughout this neighborhood. I can see many secrets coming out and it being a small town I'm sure it'll be juicy. ...more

I really enjoyed this book and listened to some of it on audio. The narrator was great and did all the northern accents. I am looking forward to the next book.
Though it's the first in the series, this book has so many characters and references to prior events that it felt like I was picking up the story mid-series and missing some back story.

The Dead Cat Bounce by Sarah Graves is the first book in the Home Repair is Homicide series. Home repairs come to a halt when Jacobia Tiptree comes across the dead body of a local investor in her home with her best friend confessing to the crime and asking her to investigate. It was nice getting to know Jacobia and her son Sam and I liked the town setting and descriptions. I did feel that the book was rather long and drawn out though. An interesting mystery but an obvious culprit and I didn't re

This is a new cozy mystery series for me. I thought it was very well-written. The action began immediately to draw you into the story. I thought the author did an excellent job of balancing past with present so the reader could understand the background. The storyline kept flowing, without choppy blocks of time. The characters were fun and interesting. Plus the ending was quite amusing. I will definitely continue the series.
This one was a re-read for me but far enough down the line that I had forgotten who dunnit.
It was, however, pleasant to be reminded how much I enjoyed the introduction to this character. I have been re-reading and will read/re-read others in the series.
