Book Description

Home Repair Is Homicide Mysteries November 24, 2009
It starts with a phone call that reopens a painful chapter in Jake Tiptree’s past. After years of delay, the man who murdered Jake’s mother is finally scheduled to stand trial—until he vanishes into thin air. Maybe the only thing worse about Ozzie Campbell’s disappearing is that Jake has a terrible foreboding of just where he’ll turn up next. With her family away, Jake had hoped to savor a few days of unaccustomed solitude. Now, without warning, her cozy, well-loved home in Eastport, Maine, seems more like a death trap ready to snap shut. Suddenly Jake feels that her house—and her life—has far too many windows. And in any one of them she might see the face of her killer.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not her Best, December 15, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: A Face at the Window: A Home Repair Is Homicide Mystery (Home Repair Is Homicide Mysteries) (Mass Market Paperback)
I love Sarah Graves' Home Repair Mysteries but I think she departs from her proven track record in this book. She goes back to Jake's history in this story and introduces a character from the past but the story line is not very convincing. There's not enough of the down east flavor and home repair aspect of her previous books - all of which are very enjoyable. It may be time to give Jake a rest - or to spin off another character for this author. I highly recommend the earlier books in this series however.

This book was a great read! I couldn't put it down.
It was exciting and fast paced from beginning to end.
I've read many books, but this one kept me on the edge of my seat throughout the book.
