Mystery Novels featuring a handyman (or a handyman team) as the sleuth.

[Deanne]

Hello all,
I am back, once more looking for suggestions. I would like to find mysteries (standalone or series) featuring handymen or old house repairs, preferably leaning more toward the comedic than the dark but if I find any at all, I’ll be happy. So far I am only finding romance novels or books where the handyman is is the killer.
Edited to add: The style I'm looking for is somewhere between Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series to a John Sandford or a CJ BOX series.
Thanks much for any help! All you mystery writers out there: this may be a niche!

Perhaps something on this Goodreads list: Cozy Mysteries: Home Renovation/Repair/Decoration/Design?

Oh, this list looks interesting! I'm going to do some perusing this week. For some reason, I always thought 'cozy mystery' was the name of a book series, or a publisher (like Harlequin); never realized it was a genre. Thanks!

Hi again! An update on the cozy mystery list...this genre is a little too light for the person I'm shopping for. The style I'm looking for is somewhere between Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series to a John Sandford or a CJ BOX series. I hope this makes sense! I will update my initial post to add this. Thank you!
