Staged to Death

Mystery Cozy

Caprice loves her job. She stages homes to entice buyers to place a bid on the home. Caprice is staging a home for one of her old friends from high school, Roz and her husband Ted. The big problem in this staging is Roz would like it done one way and Ted wants it done another. Ted is a showoff and wants his sword collection to be front and center.

During the open house, Caprice comes across Ted and Valerie in a compromising situation. The big question, should she tell Roz what she has witnessed? Right when Caprice has decided that she should tell Roz, Ted is murdered. Not only is he murdered in his house, but by one of his precious swords.

Of course being the spouse, Roz is the prime suspect. Caprice knows that her friend could never have committed this murder. Caprice sets out to crack this case wide open.

Karen Rose Smith had me from the beginning. I really enjoy the way she writes. It is very heartwarming showing the friendship between two friends. Even though they travel in different circles, they still remained friends. At the end of the books there are several recipes. Since I enjoy trying new recipes, I can't wait to try some of these.

Since STAGED TO DEATH is the first Caprice DeLuca Mystery, I am sure that the next one will be just as good.

SUMMARY

Welcome to Kismet, PA, where home stager Caprice De Luca helps her clients shine in a lackluster real estate market--and where someone may only be in the market for murder. . .

Caprice De Luca has successfully parlayed her skills as an interior designer into a thriving home staging business. So when her old high school friend Roz Winslow asks her to spruce up her mess of a mansion to perk up a slow buyer's market, Caprice is more than happy to share her skills. But when Roz's husband Ted is found skewered by one of his sword room's prized possessions, it appears the Winslows may have a few skeletons in their palatial closets. With the stage set for murder, Caprice will discover she can track down an antique tapestry and a cold-blooded killer with equal aplomb--as long as she's not the next victim. . .
