Batten Down the Belfry (House-Flipper Mystery #4)

by Diane Kelly Narrated by Courtney Patterson

Overview

Here is the church, here is the steeple . . .



Carpenter Whitney Whitaker and her cousin Buck have successfully flipped houses, but this is the first time they've attempted to renovate a house of worship. Still, the colorful stained glass in the country church has caught Whitney's eye, and she'd love to breathe new life into the abandoned building. What's more, the place has perfect acoustics. Could the worship hall be reborn as an entertainment venue with its parsonage repurposed as a pre-show bistro?



Open the doors, and see all the trouble.



The owner of the horse farm next door has asserted a legal claim to the church property, rendering their title uncertain. If that's not bad enough, while rehabbing the church, Whitney's cat Sawdust discovers a bombshell in the bell tower-the body of the man who'd delivered their beautiful new replacement windows. What transpired in the spire? Who rang the man's bell and why?



The steeple is keeping its secrets and, when a second body turns up, things become even less clear. Can Whitney help Detective Collin Flynn solve the crimes before someone else is sent to meet their maker?
