Nail biter : a home repair is homicide mystery / Sarah Graves.

Graves, Sarah. (Author).

Summary:

Jacobia "Jake" Tiptree has a problem. A coven of self-styled "witches" has taken over her Eastport, Maine, waterfront rental property for Halloween and their repair requests are annoyingly frequent. But while Jake is normally game to take on any fixer-upper challenge, she'd rather be tackling the excavation of an unusual piece of the foundation of her own 1823 Federal home. Until, that is, fire-and-brimstone preacher Gene Dibble turns up dead and the whole town is convinced that Jake and her tenants are up to sorcery and skullduggery. While the witches are complaining about ghostly moaning and her neighbors are chewing their nails, it's up to Jake to pry out the identity of the real culprit before the killer nails her.
