Who knew buying a house could be so dangerous? I recently had the great idea that moving back home to Westport and being close to my family again would be good for my soul. But now that I am close to them, I’ve quickly realized that I need to find a home all of my own. I love them. I really do, but the idea of living with them is kind of low on my to do list. Especially now that grandma has moved into my childhood bedroom. Thankfully it hasn’t taken me long to find the house of my dreams – or nightmares. It’s really a question of perspective. The lonely run-down old Victorian in need of major renovations has tugged on my heartstrings, and before I can stop myself, I’ve fallen head over heels in love with it. Unfortunately, I’m not the only one who wants it, and the other bidders aren’t playing nice. Deadly accidents, missing real estate agents and a chilling stranger, are all sinister signs that this is not the house for me. Only I’m determined to rescue this fixer upper or die trying. Now all I need to do is to win the auction and stay alive. If only it was that easy… A Sinister Sign is the prequel to the light-hearted, romantic mystery trilogy. If you like crazy families, cozy reads, and a sweet romance, all tied together with a ribbon of danger, then you’ll love The Westport Mysteries.
