c. 2002 -- 230 pages -- Paperback -- A Jane Jeffry Mystery
Back Cover: "Homemaking" is about to take on a whole new meaning for Jane Jeffry, now that she's agreed to help the prosperously divorced Bitsy Burnside restore and redecorate a decrepit old neighborhood mansion. Bitsy's decision to employ an almost all-woman crew has prompted Jane's quick-witted best bud Shelley Nowack to dub the project, "the House of Seven Mabels" -- but it's also engendered some nasty ill will. And when what begins as a series of anonymous, mean-spirited "pranks" ends up leaving one of the workwomen lying dead at the foot of a staircase, Jane and Shelley decide to try and nail the assassin. But the more Jane saws away at the truth, the more it appears that she may be painting herself into a corner, leaving herself no exit if a crafty killer decides to make jane Jeffry the next demolition project.

Going through my bookshelves to lower Mt. TBR. I don't think I'll ever get to read this book, although it looks good. I'm sending it to mgillespy in WA through BookMooch.
