A Fixer-Upper Mystery
BY KATE CARLISLE
ABOUT THE BOOK:
In the New York Times bestselling Fixer-Upper
mysteries, contractor Shannon Hammer can repair even the
most distressed building. But clearing out the cobwebs from
her current project may distress her… to death.
When Mac Sullivan—famous thriller writer and Shannon’s new beau—first moved to Lighthouse Cove, California, he bought the historic lighthouse mansion that the town is named after. Mac needs help cleaning up the place, and Shannon is more than happy to get her handywoman hands on the run-down Victorian.
But during demolition, a grisly discovery is made among the debris—the bones of a teenage girl who went missing fifteen years ago. Locals had always assumed Lily Brogan ran away from her difficult life, but it seems her troubles followed her to the grave. If Shannon has any chance of getting her renovation back on track, she’ll need to tackle the cold case. But with new suspects coming out of the woodwork every day, she’ll have to be careful to pry the right secrets and clues from the poor girl’s problematic past…

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Golden Heart and Daphne du Maurier Award winning author Kate
Carlisle spent over twenty years working in television
production as an Associate Director for game and variety
shows, including The Midnight Special, Solid
Gold and The Gong Show. She traveled the world as
a Dating Game chaperone and performed strange acts of
silliness on The Gong Show. She also studied acting
and singing, toiled in vineyards, collected books, joined a
commune, sold fried chicken, modeled spring fashions and
worked for a cruise ship line, but it was the year she spent
in law school that finally drove her to begin writing
fiction. It seemed the safest way to kill off her
professors. Those professors are breathing easier now that
Kate spends most of her time writing near the beach in
Southern California where she lives with her perfect husband.
A lifelong love of old books and an appreciation of the art of bookbinding led Kate to create the Bibliophile Mysteries, featuring rare book expert Brooklyn Wainwright, whose bookbinding and restoration skills invariably uncover old secrets, treachery and murder. Kate is a member of Sisters in Crime, Mystery Writers of America, International Thriller Writers and Romance Writers of America®. She loves to drink good wine and watch other people cook.
Despite the appearance of overnight success, Kate's dream of publication took many, many years to fulfill. If you're wondering why, here's the real scoop.

I can't imagine fixing up a house only to find human bones. Yikes! This sounds like a great mystery, and the cover art is so cute. Thank you for the giveaway.
