Habitat For Murder

By Donna McGinty

Horrified, Billie Quinn witnesses the sniper-fire murder of Jake Wade, supervisor of the Habitat for Humanity building site she is sponsoring for an anxious African-American couple. But who is Jake Wade? When the local sheriff and GBI hit a dead end in breaking Jake's alias, Billie puts her inherited millions and bulldog determination into solving the mystery of Jake's identity, delivering his ashes to a distraught widow, and solving his murder, but not before Jake's killer nearly breaks her physical and emotional defenses.At the same time, while holed up in a plush houseboat on a large Georgia lake, Billie licks the wounds of a devastating divorce, shies away from a budding romance, and seeks peace with her deceased parents. She is reduced to a fragile support group: a doting uncle, the couple that manages the boat, and her best friend.Although the book opens with a graphic murder, on balance it fits the mold of a cozy with an edge, in the spirit of the TV series, "Murder She Wrote." Readers who are unfamiliar with Habitat for Humanity's work at the community level will learn something. And those who have worked on Habitat builds will enjoy reading with insider knowledge.
