Jo Ravens is thirty-two, divorced, and stuck in a rut. She wants two things in life — a new career as a private investigator and to lose the sixty pounds she packed on after her divorce.
When she crashes her nephew’s bike in a construction site, she lands on a girl with a large knife in her chest. Jo enlists her sister Pepper and journalist friend Jackie to help solve the girl’s murder. Things … murder. Things become creepy for Jo when the girl appears to her in dreams and offers unusual clues to her death.
Murder Under Construction is a humorous mystery with Jo’s family adding to the antics of the three women. Mama caterwauls, Jackie’s two children offer sleuthing assistance, and her brother Hank laughs at all of them from the sidelines.

Cochere gives us a laugh-out-loud mystery. Her protagonist is witty, real and relatable. Secondary characters are colorful. The mystery storyline is intriguing with plenty of twists. And there’s abundant humor.
An amusing, thoroughly entertaining read.
Wow, this was a great book. Loved the characters and loved the 2 sisters and journalists and how they interacted together and the family fun reminded me of my family.
I would read another one, but it would not be my first choice. She is easy to read but some of her humor is a little childish. The story line is well done and I did enjoy it.
I liked it
I like the light hearted murder books. This book gave me everything I want in a story. I will read more of this authors work.
This entire series is great. It gets better and better with each book. It is so entertaining and OMG laugh out loud funny. You are just reading along enjoying the story and then you just bust out laughing (not recommended reading in library or quit place)

It kept my interest. I was pretty sure who the murderer was about half way thru the book. I still read it to see how it was determined to be him. I liked the characters.
Liked the main character…very human. Good action, laugh out loud funny at times. Will read others by this author.
This was a very fun read. Planning on getting the balance of the series!
This PI is more interested in eating than solving mysteries. I got really bored with it and couldn’t finish it.
I did enjoy the troubles the main character for into. I could see myself doing the same things she did.
Makes you see that sometimes you should be careful for what you wish for. Great characters

I loved this book. It was so much fun to read. I think they could spin this book series into a TV show, I would watch it for sure. I purchased the 2nd book in the series as soon as I finished this one.
