Wow, oh, wow, loved this book! Jazzi Sanders is a house flipper, along with her cousin Jarod. When they find a skeleton in a trunk in the attic of a recently purchased house, the action begins. This cozy starts out with a bang, and never slows down!!! Jazzi is a strong, sassy, delightful character, whose personality adds much to this exciting read. The family dynamics are so enjoyable, the mystery so exciting, and the romantic relationships just round out a real page Turner. Do yourself a favor, a read this. I'm already waiting for the next installment. Solid 5++++ stars.

New to me and a very good and quirky beginning for a new series. Love the combo of flipping houses and family history. Well done characters and plot. Enjoyed every bit of it. Looking forward to more.

The Body in the Attic is a quirky cozy mystery that has a lot of potential.
Jazzi and her cousin Jerod are house flippers and when they discover a skeleton in a trunk, it sets off whirlwind of hidden secrets.
As a first in a new series, this book book was well written and I liked the idea of the protagonist being a house flipper.
I think the cousins have colorful personalities that will work well in future books.

I volunteered to read and review a copy of this book offered by the publisher and NetGalley.

This was a wonderful book - a cut above most other cozy mysteries with its wonderful family relationships and complex plot. Jazzi and her cousin Jerod, along with their contractor Ansel are house flippers and have bought the house of recently deceased family friend Cal who was the fiance of Jazzi's Aunt Lynda who disappeared years ago. When cleaning out the house they find that Lynda did not run away as they thought but was killed and buried in a trunk in the attic. Lynda had lied to them previously when she went to New York not to take a glamorous job but instead to have a baby and give it up for adoption. It turns out that Cal had found the boy and he was coming to River Bluffs to meet him but never showed up. Then Jerod finds the body buried in the back yard and the past and present merge in heartbreaking fashion. I loved Jazzi's family relationships, I loved the details about refinishing the house, I was hooked by the plot and can't wait to see a sequel.
