Jo Ravens is thirty-two, divorced, and stuck in a rut. She wants a new career, and she wants to lose the sixty pounds she packed on after her divorce. Her knack for finding dead bodies points her in the right direction for a career change, while her sister's exuberance for weight loss gimmicks enables both of them to try new, creative ways to shed pounds.
When Jo crashes her bike in a construction site, she lands on a naked girl with a knife in her chest. Because Jo was instrumental in solving two previous murders with the help of her sister and their journalist friend, she enlists them once again to help solve the girl's murder. Things become creepy for Jo when the murdered girl appears in her dreams and offers unusual clues to her death.
“Murder Under Construction” is a humorous mystery with Jo's family adding to the antics of the three women. Mama caterwauls, her sister's two children offer sleuthing assistance, and her brother laughs at all of them from the sidelines. “Murder Under Construction” is light, easy-breezy reading from Maddie Cochere.
