Sam Turner is a fledgling real estate agent in her hometown of Arlinda in northern California. Life has not been simple for Sam since her husband disappeared, leaving her to raise her son, Max, thirteen years earlier. She and Max are finally in a position to purchase a home of their own. She even has hopes for selling a new listing, 13 Aster Lane. The house is a crumbling Victorian, more of a tear down than a fixer-upper, and rumored to be haunted. But when she gets three bids in rapid succession and the bidders are turning up dead, Sam begins to wonder just what is going on. Not only that, someone is trying to kill her, and her ex-husband shows up at her door. Never mind the simmering romance between her and the Arlinda Chief of Police.
Death at a Fixer-Upper is a fast-paced and often humorous first book in a new series. Sam is a likable heroine with a great kid. She is tough, but then she has had to be. Arlinda is one of the quirkiest towns ever, full of some very strange characters; in fact, I found the wealth of characters a little overwhelming and confusing at times. Otherwise, Death at a Fixer-Upper is a promising debut in a new series.
Thanks to NetGalley and Random House Alibi for an advance digital copy in return for an honest review.
RATING- 3 Stars
