Eaves of Destruction

By: Kate Carlisle

Narrated by: Angela Starling

Murder is on the to-do list when construction contractor Shannon Hammer looks for a killer in the fifth Fixer-Upper Mystery....

At the annual Victorian Home and Garden Tour, Lighthouse Cove, California's premier contractor, Shannon Hammer, realizes that the competition is about to turn deadly....

Shannon is in high demand among rival homeowners who will do anything to win Best in Show. One-upmanship and even espionage break out among neighbors, construction crews, decorators, and landscapers. Thanks to several new hires, Shannon is sure she can handle the extra load - until murder throws a wrench in the works.

The small town's corrupt building inspector is found dead on one of Shannon's jobsites, and soon plenty of suspects are coming out of the woodwork. When another body is discovered, Shannon calls on her team of close friends and devilishly astute thriller writer Mac to help her nail down the details and build a case against the killer before the door shuts on someone else - for good.

Enjoyed!

Fun listen was surprised at the end of the book. It kept me guessing throughout.

Good stories-narration needs work

These books are great, but the narration has much to be desired. The narrator does a great job with the female parts, but her male voices just don't cut it. Most of them sound like squeaky pubescent boys. Get a male narrator for the male parts, please.

Better than the last book!

I have listened to this whole series & the last book was a dud. I had hoped it was a fluke, and it seems it was, because this book was back to its usual greatness! The narration was great, the story was compelling with twists & turns. An enjoyable cozy listen

Loved It!

I enjoy this series! Eaves of Destruction is one of the best of the series. Thank you! Please keep them coming.

these are better than the show......

These are better than the Hallmark specials as the characters have different endings etc. i have cataracts and can’t read very well but the Audible books help to bring the story to life. Good narrators are the key.

Enticing to the end

I have every book in this series. The characters are believable and the narrator is pleasant to listen to. I am going to go back to the first book and work my way through again. It is worth listening to them all again.

a shocking ending and a marvelous book

the narrator does an awesome job with this book, in fact so awesome that my cat enjoyed listening to this with me at night... Seems he likes the voice of the narrator Angela starling. hard to write a review without giving away the best parts of this book. however, if you love books for you cannot figure out the ending until you are at the ending then this is a must read or listen to. I've read other books in a different series by this author and this series I have listened to exclusively on audio books so far. Carlisle is able to create a setting in her books based on fact which obviously comes from doing ones homework. Carlisle's way of writing will have you seeing the settings which for me helps put me into the story in a way that makes it more real. listen to this book to find out who wins the Victorian House contest and find out how they get to the end for that winner to be announced

Oh, Those Victorian Homes!

In this episode, our heroine and the town of Lighthouse Cove are preparing for the annual home show. The town is filled with marvelous old Victorians and everyone is polishing them in an attempt to win. This is one of those cases where the author's descriptions of these ornate homes really shines. Of course, I would love photographs...but I guess that's tough to do with fictional homes! The mystery is not as easily figured out from the start as in previous novels, although there are plenty of clues. All in all, it was still rather enjoyable once solved. And our dear heroine is racking up the body count. Glad I'm not her. I definitely wouldn't care to keep running into all of those dead bodies! On the romance side, the relationship between her and her fellow seems to be heating up, but they still haven't reach a stage of intimacy. Makes one wonder if they are simply good friends....

a little far fetched, but enjoyable.

loved visiting with the characters and the town. enoyed hearing the word "orangeri" a bunch. rhe ebd waa just a tad far fetched.

Great listen

The story is a great light mystery. Angela Starling makes the characters come to life; I very much enjoy her narrations.
