Crafts and Life

Alex Jordan, owner of Finials and Facades Renovation and Restoration Services, has been living her dream of restoring Victorian-style homes in the town of Danger Cove. But her recent acquisition of the stately Marlton House has led to a showdown with the town real estate mogul, and now she needs to restore the old house and flip it before time runs out. But Alex gets more than she bargained for when a Hawaiian shirt-clad tourist with a bullet in his head turns up in the home's bathtub. Pairing up with unlikely partner and town florist, George Fontaine, Alex vows to solve the murder before her flip becomes a flop.

As Alex worries over deadlines, she stumbles across another body on the cliffs of Danger Cove. However, this "body" is a super-sexy man with amnesia…or so he says. Throw in a stash of stolen diamonds, a matchmaking grandmother, a foulmouthed parrot, and a mysterious killer with Alex in his sights, and Alex is in a race against the clock to salvage the job, solve the murder, and save her own life.

Alex has a knack for renovating houses, in particular Victorians aka Painted Ladies, the one she has just managed to buy at auction though seems riddled with problems, the main one being a dead body in the bathroom! (mind you a whole colony of bats doesn't help), she ends up being Nora Charles to the local florist's Nick in order to save herself from bankruptcy and prison (add in a matchmaker of a Gran, her Gran;s best friend who is a manic driver, a business man determined to drive her out and an amnesiac and things can only get better!)
