High summer in River Bluffs, Indiana, is always sweltering and sweet. But the heat is really on when a decidedly dead body turns up in the neighborhood.

When established house flippers Jazzi Zanders and her cousin Jerod donate a week’s worth of remodeling work to Jazzi’s sister Olivia, they’re expecting nothing more than back-breaking roofing work and cold beers at the end of each long, hot day. With Jazzi’s live-in boyfriend and partner Ansel on the team, it promises to be a quick break before starting their next big project—until Leo, an elderly neighbor of Olivia’s, unexpectedly goes missing . . .

When the friendly senior’s dog tugs Jazzi and the guys toward the wetlands beyond Olivia’s neighborhood, they stumble across a decomposing corpse—and a lot of questions. With Jazzi’s pal Detective Gaff along to investigate, Jazzi finds her hands full of a whole new mystery instead of the usual hammer and nails. And this time it will take some sophisticated sleuthing to track down the culprit of the deadly crime—before the killer turns on her next . . .

My Review

It was a very pleasant read with lots of mystery, likeable characters, lovely animals and a bit of romance.

Jazzi with Jerod and Ansel is helping her sister Olivia and her husband restore the house they just bought. She makes friends with Leo, a neighbor of her sister and they talk about the disappearance of a boy with some mental problems. Then Leo also disappears. During the searches together with the detective they find a corpse. Shortly after they find another body of a woman. The case gets complicated.

This is the second book in this series although I haven't read book 1, it in no way disrupted my enjoyment of this book.

The story is very well written, with a fast pace and so many twists that make it difficult to guess until the end. The characters are funny and believable, I really loved the Sunday dinner at Jazzi's house with the whole family. The only flaw is a little unlikely the help that the detective asks Jazzi it is impossible for a policeman to ask a civilian to deal with the family but it is always fiction.

Recommended for those who love mystery
