Shannon’s good friend and retired tech billionaire, Raphael Nash, is loving his new retired life but he can’t stay unoccupied for too long. He’s started the Marigold Foundation that helps fund small companies and individuals who do humanitarian work around the world. It’s an exciting time in Lighthouse Cove as Raphael hosts the first ever global conference inviting big thinkers from every area of industry to give presentations on eco-living.

Raphael’s old business partner arrives in town with a grudge and a plan to steal him away from his important new passion project. Shannon knows her friend has no intention of giving up Marigold and is proud of Raphael for sticking to his guns. But when his former associate winds up dead, all signs point to Raphael.

It’s up to Shannon to hammer out the details of the murder before her friend gets pinned for the crime…

Review of Shot Through the Hearth

Review (4 Stars): Shot Through The Hearth is an absolute delight!!  This is the seventh book in the Fixer Upper Mysteries and I love following Shannon as she hunts down clues in another mystery.  In this tale, Shannon is helping her friend and retired billionaire, Raphael, renovate his new Victorian home.  When Raphael’s old business partner ends up dead, then it is up to Shannon to help clear her friend’s name before it is too late.

This series is absolutely charming and I love each of these fun mysteries.  Shannon is a delightful character that you can never get enough of and I wish she would come and renovate my house in the future.  This was a great mystery and I can’t wait to see what trouble Shannon gets in next.
