Secret of the Painted Lady: a Danger Cove Renovation Mystery | Elizabeth Ashby, Christina A. Burke

pick

Based on the title, I thought this would be about street walkers. Turns out a Painted Lady refers to the old Victorian style mansions in town. So Alex, the main character, is fixing up one of the Painted Ladies. Also there is a murder mystery and some missing diamonds. This was a fun read and I liked the main characters. I liked the big reveal of the murderer at the end.
