Another Stab at Life by Anita Higman is a good mystery with several twists and turns. Bailey inherits a rundown house that is straight out of  a horror movie and has a gruesome surprise waiting for her on her first night in her new home. She also meets Max, the man who promised to look after her until she finds a husband (who also happens to be a neighbor, and good looking).

She discovers she has some crazy neighbors, like the couple next door who she never sees and the lady across the street who hates cats. Bailey also makes a major discovery that enables her to remodel her house but also discovers someone trying to scare her off.

Add a blossoming romance, the return of an old flame and a former best friend, some strange noises and spooky neighbors and you have the recipe for a great read. Once I started Another Stab at Life, I couldn’t wait to finish to see what happened in the end. It was worth it.
