The House of Seven Mabels (Jane Jeffry Mysteries, No. 13) Unknown - 2003

Información de la editorial

Homemaking is about to take on a whole new meaning for Jane Jeffry now that she's agreed to help restore and redecorate a decrepit old neighborhood mansion. The home's owner, the prosperously divorced Bitsy Burnside, considers herself to be a feminist to the max and wants an almost all-female crew to do the dirty work -- prompting the quick-witted Shelley Nowack to dub the project "the House of Seven Mabels." This exhausting plaster-dusty job may not be as unpleasant as it initially appeared to be. Until things start to get very messy. A series of mean-spirited "pranks" -- strange odors and mysterious electrical shorts, leaves one of the workers lying lifeless at the foot of a staircase.

Tragic, yes, but an accident? With the able assistance of Shelley and a little help from her best beau, Chicago detective Mel VanDyne, Jane's hoping she can construct a solid case and nail the assassin.
