    About this audiobook

    Driving deep into the woods to her husband's cottage with her best friend in tow, Jake knows she has a challenging week ahead of her. Aside from saying goodbye to paved roads and indoor plumbing, Jake bet her husband that she could finish building the cottage porch in only a few days. But as they set to work, they soon realize that they're not alone. Recently escaped from prison and having fled into the woods, Dewey Hooper recognizes Jake the instant he sees her. Her testimony got him sent away for murder years ago and here he can finally exact his revenge. Determined to make payback look like an accident, Dewey hatches a lethal scheme to ensure neither woman returns to Eastport alive.

      You have to feel a little sorry for Jake Tiptree - she bounces from one near-death experience to the next! Still, watching her and Ellie put their survivor skills and smarts to work is a pleasure. Sam plays a big part in this novel, which is a nice change.
    • 4/5
      This one is a page turner. The family of Jake Tiptree all face dangers and trials. Jake and her friend Ellie are at their summer cabin when they are attacked by an escaped convict who mistakes Ellie for his murdered ex-wife. Her father and his wife decide to check on Jake and are involved in a deer-auto accident which leaves them severely injured. Jakes son Sam gets involved with a pair of con artists and is on the verge of drinking again. Her husband Wade ends up being shot by the escaped convict. And all of them are visited by the ghost of Jakes's deceased ex-husband. I couldn't put it down.

      Jake is now married in book fifteen of the home repair series. This time the home repairer finds her past life as a police officer causing more problems than the cottage under renovation. As with all books in the series, someone dies, lives are upset, and houses get fixed.
    • 5/5
      Wow. Loved it. Lots of Jake and Ellie kind of trouble, and plenty of peril for everyone. I really liked who came to the rescue here. It was an excellent addition to the series. I think it might even be the best one in the series, which is saying a lot because I think it's a solid series.

      The one think I was unsure of was how much time had passed in between Knockdown and this one. It's obvious, from comments made by the characters that there has been at least a couple of years. I think I need to go back and reread Knockdown.

      The blurb:Nobody knows the nuts and bolts of home repair quite like Jacobia “Jake” Tiptree,ex–Wall Streeter turned proud owner of an 1823 Federal-style house in Eastport, Maine. But when a killer with a screw loose sets his sights on Jake, her newest renovation project becomes a dire matter of life and deck. Driving deep into the woods to her husband’s cottage with her best friend, Ellie White, in tow, Jake knows she has a challenging week ahead of her. Aside from saying goodbye to paved roads and indoor plumbing, Jake bet her husband that she could finish building the cottage porch in only a few days—a lofty goal for even the craftiest home renovator. But as Jake and Ellie set to work,they soon realize that they’re not alone. Someone is watching them . . . and that someone is out for blood.Recently escaped from prison and having fled into the woods, Dewey Hooper recognizes Jake the instant he sees her. Her testimony got him sent away for murder years ago and here, in the remote wilderness, he can finally exact his revenge. Determined to make payback look like an accident, Dewey hatches a lethal scheme to ensure neither woman returns to Eastport alive. But Jake and Ellie are tough as nails and not afraid to fend for themselves.With the exit roads flooded and a deranged convict stalking their every move, they’ll have to keep their wits above water to prevent the quaint little cottage from turning into the ultimate death trap.My Comments: This is #15 in the series but I've only read 3 or 4. Graves has come a long way from the early ones for sure. I read those because they are set in Eastport Maine (one of my favorite spots in the state) and they had pleasant characters with the usual "amateur sleuth inserts herself into police business and saves the day" cozy plot....I really tended to view them as brain candy. This one changed my mind. It's a fully developed, well-plotted, exceptionally well-written page turner. It even has a ghost!  Besides a good mystery, with strong characters and an interesting plot, the sense of place is really what makes this one special.  The reader can see the cabin, the road, and the wildlife; can soak up the atmosphere of the quiet rustic retreat; can hear the quiet; and can smell the pine trees.  Let's hope Sarah Graves continues to turn out more like this one.
