House-flipper Jazzy Zanders has her work cut out for her. Her latest flip, which she co-purchased with her fiancée Ansel and cousin Jerod, is a three-story fixer-upper that’s more of a droopy-downer. One corner of the house is sinking and needs to be jacked up with a new cement foundation. That costs money. And causes headaches. And creates a work environment that’s not only hostile, it’s downright deadly . . .
Jazzy knows it’s a tough job. Which is why she hired Darby to lay the cement. But when Darby gets into a fiery argument with the furnace man—and then never shows up to lay gravel for the driveway—Jazzy starts to wonder if the rumors about Darby are true. Did he kill his wife and son and bury them in the yard like some folks claim? When Darby’s dead body comes pouring out of a gravel truck, murder upstages the real estate market as her biggest concern . . .
The Jazzi Zander mysteries are always a great, comforting read - even with the dead bodies!
Jazzi, Jerod and Ansel have another house to flip, this one is a doozy that need a lot of work, including cement work in the foundations and along the driveway, they always use Darby and his company for this, even though Darby can be argumentative, but they don't expect the argument that kicks off between Darby and their go to furnace man (and Jazzi's sister's boyfriend) Thane, that would be bad enough but the next day when they come to do the gravel for the drive (the previous day had been the cement for the foundation) they are stunned to find Darby in the midst of the gravel!!
Now Jazzi and her good friend Detective Gaff need to find out the truth, so that Thane isn't in jail when Jazzi and Ansel tie the knot in a months time!
