Publisher's summary

Christmas is just weeks away, but what Jacobia Jake Tiptree discovers at Faye Anne Carmody's house is far from festive: a dazed Faye Anne covered with blood. Her no-good husband, Merle--Eastport's butcher and least-liked citizen--is nowhere in sight. Nowhere, that is, until Jake finds his body--wrapped in his own butcher paper. It looks like an open-and-shut case, but Jake isn't convinced. Then another resident turns up dead, and Jake knows the trail doesn't begin--or end--with Merle. Jake had planned to spend the winter rehabilitating her old house, but now she'll have to work on nailing a killer before her beloved town gets even smaller.

really good

the series is really good.....the stories are great. however, the main character, Jacobia, I highly unlikable. flat personality, kind of bitchy and really needs to get over her ex husband.
plus as a carpenter with 30 years experience, the ho e repair portions of the book are torture to listen to. but I will continue to listen.

I wish she would get a backbone with the ex-husban

Great mysteries and stellar performance by narrator. I just can't stand how she continues to let her ex walk all over her in the pretense of being civil for their son. Even he stands up to him more than she does and she talks big in her head, but never says it out loud to his face. Gets old after 4 or 5 books.

Good storyline

I enjoyed the storyline, it but had a difficult time of trying to keep all the characters apart. I almost felt like I needed to go back and take some notes.

Question

What happened to the town brat? I doubt she stopped her shenanigans. I have been wondering for the last few books. I love this series!
