The Homewreckers by Mary Kay Andrews
Hattie Kavanaugh went to work restoring homes for Kavanaugh & Son Restorations at eighteen, married the boss's son at twenty, and became a widow at twenty-five.

During the demolition, evidence comes to light that points to the disappearance of a woman years before.
With a detective investigating the case, an arsonist on the loose, two men playing with her emotions, and layers of wallpaper causing havoc, it's a question of who will flip, who will flop and if Hattie will ever get her happily-ever-after.
