Book Description

It's not a renovation without a bit of complication-murder, to be exact. Poppy Lewis wants nothing more than to spruce up the Victorian mansion bequeathed to her by her late uncle and finally have the bed-and-breakfast of her dreams. She's worked for months to prepare for the renovation crew, but in Starry Cove, nothing ever goes according to plan. A gruesome murder at the worksite throws a wrench into Poppy's project, and when the local authorities clamp down on the renovation, she's left to live in the middle of a construction zone. Worse, the deputy sheriff points the finger at her friend, and now Poppy must find the killer before everything goes bottom up. On top of all that, the mysterious appearance of an eccentric elderly woman puts Poppy and her pals on edge. Throw in an unprecedented election and frustrating attempts to decipher clues in a ratty old notebook, and it's all a blueprint for disaster. Can Poppy escape from this bed of nails? Find out in Book 2 of the Poppy Lewis Mystery series, Best Slayed Plans.
