Praise for A Bat in the Belfry "Stylishly suspenseful."
--Milwaukee Journal Sentinel "Nobody else can take a home repair project and turn it into a first-class mystery the way Graves can. It's a top-of-the-line story."
--RT Book Reviews "Graves does the Down East region justice, nailing not only the scents, sounds, sights, and people, but the culture. . . . It doesn't hurt that she's a damn good storyteller, to boot. [Her] prose is sharp, smart, and witty."
--Crimespree Magazine Praise for Sarah Graves and the Home Repair Is Homicide series "Graves's trademarks are edgy, traditional mysteries peppered liberally with humor, and sprinkled with layered, well-written characters."
--Julia Spencer-Fleming, New York Times bestselling author of One Was a Soldier "Just hearing her list the ways you can kill yourself fixing up an old house . . . is a hoot."

--Los Angeles Times "Graves makes rehabbing shutters and other chores suspenseful."
--The Boston Globe
