The Final Blueprint
(2025)(The sixth book in the Renovation and Homicide Mystery series)
A novel by Grace Greenwood and Maisy Marple
Some blueprints hide more than renovation plans... they bury murder.
Zoey Parker swore the Pinecrest Mill would be her last historic renovation project. After finding bodies in five different buildings around town, she's ready to document one final restoration and put her unofficial career as "The Renovation Detective" behind her.
But when her canine sidekick Max uncovers yet another hidden body during the initial walkthrough, Zoey finds herself drawn into one last mystery—one that strikes at the heart of Pinecrest's history.
The victim is the twin brother of the preservation society's treasurer, and evidence points to embezzlement, blackmail, and a decades-old conspiracy. As Zoey works with Detective Jack Sullivan to unravel the truth, they discover the mill's sudden closure in 1975 wasn't due to mechanical failure but deliberate sabotage—a crime with connections to the town's most prominent citizens.
When a violent storm threatens to destroy what remains of the mill, Zoey and Jack find themselves in a race against time to catch a killer who's been hiding in plain sight for decades, wearing a mask of small-town respectability that no one thought to question.
As the final pieces of the puzzle fall into place, Zoey must confront a cold-blooded murderer willing to do anything to protect long-buried secrets. And this time, solving the mystery might lead to more than justice—it could be the key to her future in Pinecrest.
With her signature mix of humor, heart, and historic preservation, Zoey Parker returns for one final renovation adventure in this satisfying conclusion to the beloved Renovation & Homicide Mystery series.
