Description
Contractor Shannon Hammer gets tangled up in murder at a spooky old asylum in the latest Fixer-Upper Mystery from New York Times bestselling author Kate Carlisle. . . .

Shannon Hammer is about to embark on one of the biggest projects of her career. Her best friend Jane Hennessey has purchased one wing of the Gables, formerly the old state insane asylum, located on a bucolic hillside two miles northeast of Lighthouse Cove. Jane plans to turn her section into a small luxury hotel complete with twenty ocean-view rooms, a spa, and a restaurant.
Shannon is raring to get started on the enormous project and is shocked when a group of unruly protesters shows up at the groundbreaking ceremony and wreaks havoc. She’s even more freaked-out when someone pushes her into a pit of bricks in a closed-off room of the asylum. Despite her close call, Shannon wants nothing more than to get back to work . . . until she finds a body not far from where she was pushed. Now Shannon is determined to get to the bottom of the goings-on at the Gables even if it kills her. . . .

        A dream job quickly becomes a nightmare for a California contractor. Shannon Hammer has a thriving business in Lighthouse Cove specializing in rehabbing Victorian homes. When her bestie, Jane Hennessey, invests in a project to turn the Gables, a moldering but architecturally stunning former mental hospital, into a hotel and destination resort, Shannon is thrilled to get the job. Because she developed a romantic relationship with bestselling author Mac Sullivan while restoring his home, she's excited that Rachel Powers, who's running the project, has approached Mac as another possible investor. A smattering of protesters spoil the moment of groundbreaking with their demands that the Gables be burned down. Wondering whether the protesters were patients or workers there, Shannon can imagine why they might be unhappy after hearing an unhinged speech from the doctor who last ran the place. Even Jane, whose mother was a patient there, has plenty of unhappy memories. After her crew has started working, Shannon is pushed over a partially demolished brick wall and is lucky to escape with minor injuries. Removing the wall reveals the body of one of the protesters, leading Shannon and Mac to research the protester's earlier life in order to help the police chief, who's engaged to Shannon's sister. Certain the answer is in the past, they uncover some horrifying stories of cruelty that suggest many possible motives for murder. Like the Fixer Upper movies it's spawned on the Hallmark Channel, this popular series hits just the right notes: mystery, romance, historical detail.

        Construction-company owner Shannon Hammer is thrilled to be working with her best friend, Jane Hennessey, renovating one of the buildings of the Gables, formerly a hospital for the mentally ill, to turn it into a boutique hotel. Jane hopes to banish her unhappy memories by turning the building where her mother spent many sad days into a warm, happy place. At the groundbreaking, protesters chanting "burn it down" disrupt the proceedings, and then a murder stops all work on the project while the police investigate. With her boyfriend, best-selling thriller writer Mac Sullivan, Shannon tries to find the killer. Meanwhile, Shannon is worried about the status of her relationship with Mac as her friends move forward in their relationships. Framed by the details of a female contractor running a major project, and by interesting background on Victorian architecture, the engaging story is propelled by the large cast of well-drawn characters and is buffeted by numerous satisfying plot twists. Suggest this eighth in Carlisle's Fixer-Upper series to readers who enjoy Sarah Graves' Jacobia Tiptree home-repair mysteries.
