Flipping houses can be a KILLER!

Before the holiday festivities begin, Katelyn jumps at the chance to renovate a Tudor style home in fictional Crocus Heights, Minnesota. All the home furnishings, fine china, and crystal are part of the sale.

The catch? Nearly twenty years earlier, in the aftermath of a famous Halloween blizzard, a woman who lived in the quaint home was found dead in her towed car.

Katelyn discovers a cache of cold, hard cash and jewelry. Is it finders-keepers or losers-weepers? Who killed the beautiful, young, ambitious resident?

Did hunky Sheriff Don really propose? What is up with Olivia, his old flames offspring? Does Eddy really want to marry Katelyn again? Does Katelyn want to marry again?

Fans of cozy mysteries will love Killer Flip, the fourth Home Renovator Mystery, as Katelyn rehabs a house, solves a murder, and finds love. Each book has earned a five-star review from Readers' Favorite.

The entire crew is back; BFF...

Flipping houses can be DEADLY!

Katelyn takes on a home renovation in Hiptown, Minnesota, that "has history . . . a murder" at BFF Myra's urging. What was she thinking? The prior homeowner killed a young woman, and the girl didn't get the justice she deserved. The killer got away with murder!

Katelyn finds a hidden diary, foils an intruder, and discovers more secrets, while delays and expenses escalate. Is the victim's restless spirit haunting the house, making it the rehab from hell? Can she find peace and justice for the dead woman?"

To get the project back on track, Katelyn, Myra, ex-hubby Eddy (it's complicated), and handyman Wayne hold a séance and bring in paranormal investigators. Will this finally rid the house of bad karma?

To top it off, Eddy is acting just plain weird, and hunky Sheriff Don Williams is a puzzle. Nosy neighbor, Mrs. Gilman, and Boots, the rescue cat, add to the fun in the second Home Renovator Mystery.

Flipping houses can be LETHAL!

Katelyn is back with an easy breezy home renovation project in Crocus Heights, Minnesota. It's a breath of fresh air. No drama or bad juju. The split entry house needs cosmetic work, painting and flooring, nothing an experienced Home Rehab Specialist can't handle.

But nothing about this flip is easy.

When investigators remove the neighbor's wife, deceased, she is curious and alarmed. A murder in the neighborhood will only discourage buyers. The spouse is handsome, charming, and overcome with grief.

Katelyn can empathize; she's a widow. Her BFF, Myra, is preoccupied with a ghostbuster and rebuilding a house in Hiptown. Don Williams, the hunky sheriff, wants to be 'friends.' Ex-hubby, (it's complicated) is talking marriage with his girlfriend Lola. Katelyn's handyman, Wayne, is on an extended vacation with Gillie, his girlfriend. Katelyn has her rescue cat, but he isn't very good at...
