Hammers and Homicide
Hammers and Homicide | Paula Charles
2 posts | 4 read
Perfect for fans of Kate Carlisle and Victoria Gilbert, when a body is found in a hardware store, will Dawna Carpenter’s sleuthing measure up to find the killer? Recent sexagenarian widow Dawna Carpenter thought running her own hardware store after the death of her husband was hard enough. With her adult daughter, April, moving back into town, and Darlene, the annoying boutique owner next door to her shop poking around, Dawna has her hands full. But when she finds a dead man in the bathroom of her store, with a framing hammer by his side, she’s in way over her head. The victim, Warren Highcastle, was a land developer who was looking to purchase the old theater in town to build a new hotel. Dawna and April, worried about the implications of the crime scene at the hardware store, put themselves on the case. They soon learn that Warren had made quite a few enemies in his short amount of time in town. As the suspect list starts growing, so too do the threats against Dawna and April. Can Dawna and April nail the killer before they strike again?

I don‘t usually read ‘cozy‘ mysteries, but after the week I‘ve had, it was just right — a relatable woman in her early sixties as the main character, a quaint hometown, lots of creature comforts, a little murder mystery and possibly a friendly ghost. There was one story line that didn‘t get resolved but I hear this is the first in a new series, so perhaps it‘s a thread that will be continued.

Hammers and Homicide is a delightful start to the Hometown Hardware Mystery Series. I love that the lead character is my age and that the author has surrounded her with genuine true-to-life characters.
