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.
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. . .
