Description
<b>Their old house was a money pit...but <i>a murder pit</i>?</b>
Daisy Savage finally has everything she wants. A new husband. A bunch of kids. A charming old house.
What she doesn't want is a dead body.
But that's exactly what she finds in her basement, in a crawl space she didn't know existed.
To make matters worse, the victim is someone Daisy knows. Someone Daisy had a history with.
When the local police chief announces she's the prime suspect, and when the local townspeople all start treating her like a criminal, Daisy knows she needs to prove her innocence.
There's just one problem.
Clearing her name may be far more dangerous than she realized.

5By MyshaySuch a great book.... lots of suspects, with lots of motives. You learn to love the main characters, with their witty remarks and obvious love for their large family. Can’t wait to read the next one of the series!Light Family Drama
4By J TroutLife with a blended family in a small town gets complicated by the discovery of a body in their house. Light reading, for sure.Murder Pit
4By wonttakelessReading Murder Pit is like a smooth airplane ride without bumps ; suspense is the bounce on landing. Easy to read and follow, simple plot, no fancy language, though suggestive sex scenes would make it inappropriate for young readers.Cute and cleverly written
5By WesterreadEnjoyable Characters. Endearing stream-of-thought interactions.Loved it

2By mtmbscto much lead in couldn't get past chapter 10, bored to death, good thing book was free.THE MURDER PIT
3By bruhitaA light, fun read.A cute and funny mystery story
5By Rhonda GCA cute and funny mystery story. Daisy is crazy (lol), just kidding. She's funny, quirky, and a bit of a nosy control freak. Jake is really loving and tolerant and an overall great guy. Not sure why his first wife let him get away. The kids are really well behaved and smart especially since I never 'seen' her actually teach them anything. Enjoyed the secondary characters and learning some of their quirks.
