Plaster and Poison
by Jennie Bentley

Home renovation and design tips included!

Ex-New York designer Avery Baker left the bustle of the big city to start her own home renovation business in Maine. But as she renovates an old carriage house on behalf of a soon-to-be wed friend, she stumbles across a lifeless body—a person known all too well by the blushing bride. The small town is abuzz with big suspicions, and Avery realizes she must unravel a matrimonial murder.



Jennie Bentley's Bio

A career as a REALTORĀ® and professional renovator has given debut author Jennie Bentley plenty of fodder for her new series of Do-It-Yourself Home Renovation Mysteries from Penguin/Putnam.

She has stumbled over dead bodies — those of birds, cockroaches, and the occasional rat; unearthed buried treasure — gorgeous tile floors hidden under ugly vinyl, pristine footed bathtubs covered over with drywall; and had personal experience with just how dangerous renovating a house can be — she and her husband have come close to killing each other on many occasions while renovating the eight houses the family has owned in the past eight years.

Jennie lives in Nashville, Tennessee, with her husband and two children.
