I found the premise of this mystery interesting. Josie Pigeon heads an all woman construction company. She finds a body on a job site and soon after it disappears. Josie is determined to find the body and the killer. She enlists the help of a newcomer to the island. He owns the liquor store, but was formerly a prosecuting attorney. Every one is a suspect, including the construction crew. All of them seem to have a secret!

Josie Pigeon is the surprise owner of an all woman construction company. Why the surprise along with the peculiar behavior and lifestyles of her inherited crew all combine to keep you (and Josie) guessing... Who was murdered? Where did the body go? Why is the good looking, retired prosecuting attorney so helpful? What is sexy Betty thinking working on the roof in her bikini? Looking forward to finding my next Josie Pigeon mystery and learning more about her absent son(author is such a tease). Sounds like an intriguing story too! Fun read.

A fun read! Perhaps a little longer than necessary. When the mystery is revealed at the end, it's a little hard to put back together who did what to whom and why, but it was an entertaining book none the less. I'll read the next one in the series.

As a former foreman of an all woman pipefitting crew, I can say this author is *RIGHT ON* when it comes to describing the personalities in her crew. The descriptions of the house and the work being done were outstanding - Josie is my new heroine. I'll "shore" be reading more!

A good cozy. First of the Josie Pigeon series (she was introduced in a "Susan Henshaw" book). The book moves along well, keeps you guessing. And, knowing what it's like to be a year-'rounder at a summer resort community, this is a pretty good depiction of island life. Later books in the series expand on Josie, her life, and the lives of her crew and friends.

This is one of the worst mysteries I have read in quite a while. There is no chemistry between the two main characters. And when the killer is revealed, it makes no sense! Why did they do it? And what really happened to the body! Not worth the time.

The concept of a carpenter sleuth who owns her own all-female contracting business is neat. The mystery is decent and the story moves along nicely.

Island Contracting's owner, Josie Pigeon, and her all-women construction crew find murder more than they bargained forwhile renovating a summer mansion. Josie, a peripheral character in Remodeled to Death, from the author's other series, is engaging & likeable. I would have awarded a higher rating except for a terrible continuity gaffe that authors and editors don't often miss. (You, the reader, will see it immediately.) Still, as a woman who works at construction job sites, I think Josie has a lot of potential and I look forward to the next book in this series.
