Jacobia gets involved in old secrets within Eastport with riveting results. I have enjoyed the previous mysteries, but halfway into this one I found it impossible to put down. I did not figure this one out, there were too many choices and too many possible suspects. And there were some evil goings on with a hint of ghosts. I usually read these for the small Maine town atmosphere which is very much in evidence here, but the mystery part was very good too. One question that has nagged at me from the beginning is why these are called Home Repair is Homicide mysteries, there is very little home repair going on. Sure her house is old and falling down, but that aspect is so small compared to the overall story, it isn't even worth mentioning. Don't read it for home repair tips, read it as a good old fashioned mystery with lots of red herrings.
