Daisy Savage finally has everything she wants. A new husband. A bunch of kids. A charming old house.
What she doesn’t want is a dead body.
When a frozen pipe in the basement of her century-old home leads her and her husband downstairs into a newly discovered crawl space, they find a coal chute they didn’t know they had. And a corpse inside of it.
Things become complicated when Daisy … complicated when Daisy realizes she knew the victim. And things get even worse when it becomes increasingly clear that the body was placed there to make Daisy look like the killer.
Against her husband’s advice and her own common sense, Daisy makes it her mission to prove to the denizens of Moose River that she is innocent. But doing so may be more dangerous than she planned.

Great book, fun to read, laugh out loud
I realize this book is supposed to be light reading, but there’s just too much wrong with it (besides the many typos, poor grammar, misuse of prepositions and just total lack of any serious copy-editing/proof-reading– problem with many e-books and even print books). For one thing, the reader is given no clue as to when or how the body found in …
I got this book as a sample read. I love mystery books and couldn’t pass it up. It took me a bit to get to it, but was very pleased when I started it. I enjoyed the journey and it is a series I plan to continue reading. It is highly entertaining. Do yourself a favor and add it to your reading list.
Others may like but I just couldn’t get into it, probably just my mood at the time.
I very much enjoyed reading this book. Ending was a surprise.
Light hearted, enjoyed it very much even though I did pick the bad person.

Great family and wonderful playfulness w married couple. Realistic but warm and fuzzy too. Only one stupid confrontation nut I can live w that since I chuckled out loud several times while reading
What a great book! Two high school sweethearts meet back up and marry some 15 yrs later. Each with kids. Buy a “new” house that needs some work. What they find in a hidden room brings the police. The kids are homeschooled and the “new” mom is quite the sleuth. Small town lots of gossip. Fun read!
Frustrated mommies are my favorite.
I know the cover makes this book a little weird, but man oh man this is a really good story.
An entertaining mystery that’s a fun, easy read. Definitely recommend.
ok
This was a good mystery. A hundred and fifty year old house was the location. The ending was a surprise for me. I liked it.
Humorous cozy mystery. Depicts family life fairly realistically, but with humor. I was surprised it was written by a man since it was in the first person told by a female character and sounded like a woman talking. Not many men can get that right.
Readable, but not very realistic.
Pretty original!
I really like this book. Hated for it to end.
Enjoyable read! This was a fun read. I drove my husband nuts reading parts of it aloud to him because I found it so funny. Light and fun mystery.
This book was entertaining and an easy read. Would be good for beach or reading that requires not much thinking.
It was a light hearted fun read
