Spring has sprung in Eastport, Maine, and in Jacobia "Jake" Tiptree's 1823 Federal style fixer-upper, that means a housecleaning so thorough even the skeletons in the closet get polished! But nothing can prepare Jake for what she'll uncover: a trio of mysteries certain to make her usual home repair projects seem as simple as scraping paint. What do an old book hidden in Jake's cellar, the appearance of her ex-husband's ghost, and the murder of her housekeeper's son have in common? Only Jake can jigsaw the clues into place--and she'd better do it fast, before a killer snares her in a trap she can't escape.

"Jacobia "Jake" Tiptree, of Eastport, Maine, has all kinds of troubles. Her roof is about to fall in, and she is short on cash. Jemmy Wechsler, who helped her when she was a runaway teenager, is back in her life, but a hit man is looking for him. Her young-adult son is an alcoholic, and the son of a friend of her housekeeper has committed suicide. Or not. Jake doesn't buy the suicide angle, and she and her friend Ellie White investigate while trying to hide Jemmy from the hit man and keep her son on the wagon. The plotlines come together in classic mystery fashion when Jake gathers all the suspects together for the finale."
