About the Book

Christmas is just weeks away, but what Jacobia "Jake" Tiptree discovers at Faye Anne Carmody's house is far from festive: a dazed Faye Anne covered with blood. Her no-good husband, Merle--Eastport's butcher and least-liked citizen--is nowhere in sight. Nowhere, that is, until Jake finds his body--wrapped in his own butcher paper. It looks like an open-and-shut case, but Jake isn't convinced. Then another resident turns up dead, and Jake knows the trail doesn't begin--or end--with Merle. Jake had planned to spend the winter rehabilitating her old house, but now she'll have to work on nailing a killer before her beloved town gets even smaller.

About the Author :
Sarah Graves lives with her husband in an 1823 Federal-style house in Eastport, Maine, where her mystery novels are set. When she is not scraping, painting, glazing, sanding, hammering, or otherwise repairing (or failing to repair!) the old house, she is working on her next cozy mystery. Lindsay Ellison is a multi-talented performer who specializes in audiobooks, dance and drumming.

Review :
"A fun read, with just enough mayhem and suspense to keep you guessing until the end. Graves is a clever mystery writer and this proves her talent." -- "Brunswick Times Record (Maine)" "An adventuresome spirit makes Wreck the Halls an amusing read...Graves has created a vivid picture of small-town Maine. Her characters are lively...and often charming. Her puzzle is involving and intricate...and Jake's constant worries about her restoration projects and her love for her home provide an appealing backdrop." -- "Dallas Morning News" "Appealing." -- "USA Today" "Eloquently depicts the beauties and hardships of life on an island in Maine...Filled with believable and engaging characters, exquisite scenery, and extravagant action." -- "Greensboro News and Record (North Carolina)" "Graves hits the nail square on the head in her Home Repair Is Homicide series...Graves paints a compelling portrait of small-town Maine in this entertaining cozy." -- "Booklist" "Lindsay Ellison realistically portrays each strong and independent woman and gives listeners a keen sense of place, including the weather, eccentric characters, and way of life on a remote island. Jake and her bevy of friends have a quirky way of detecting and, at times, seem more like gun molls than modern women in New England. An enjoyable puzzle for mystery fans and those who enjoy an evocative setting." -- "AudioFile" "The mystery and its solution are satisfying, but what distinguishes the novel are its likable, no-nonsense protagonist-narrator, her references to home repair that the author cleverly fits tongue-and-groove into the story and, especially, the detailed descriptions of the town." -- "Los Angeles Times" "The prose is brisk and the jokes are funny." -- "Wall Street Journal" "The ride is fun, and Sarah Graves seems to be having a blast." -- "Maine Sunday Telegram" "This book has it all...fun and gripping." -- "San Diego Union-Tribune" "Wreck the Halls boasts a plot with an edge and characters with a solidity so often lacking in books of this type. And Graves is a whiz at dialog and witty to boot...[A] humorously grisly take wrapped in a picturesque Maine winter. Grab a throw blanket and curl up." -- "Rocky Mountain News"
