About

When Jacobia "Jake" Tiptree and her friend, Ellie White, agree to refurbish Eastport's most disreputable old dwelling, Harlequin House, pulling up the floorboards reveals something far more sinister than dry rot. A hidden trapdoor unearths the skeleton of a notorious 1920s flapper with a fresh corpse sitting neatly beside her. With a good old-fashioned Maine murder on their hands, Jake and Ellie are hot on the trail of the murderer-but this time more than their reputations may be on the line.

    Reviews

    "Mallets Aforethought does not disappoint…Do expect at least one very useful tip on home repair…to go with the careful and sensitive development of characters, which I have learned to anticipate with pleasure. Not to mention that rich and well-developed plot."
    Washington Times
    "Offers all the pleasures of the 'cozy' subgenre…[with] its feisty amateur sleuth…[and] quirky assortment of friends and family…The plot is leavened with home repair passages full of detail and a nice dose of attitude."
    New England Today
