Mystery Cozy

Caprice loves her work. Caprice rescues cocker spaniels. She also stages house before they are sold. Caprice is dating the man of her dreams, but that is another story. Caprice's life also revolves around her family. One sister Nicki, is a caterer. Nicki always helps out Caprice by catering the open houses that Caprice stages. Her other sister Bella's life is in a mess. Caprice is being pulled in three different ways. On top of all that, her sister Bella's old flame wants to reconnect with her. The big problem is he is found dead. Bella and her husband are the prime suspects. Caprice knows that there is no way that these two had any thing to do with his death. DEADLY DECOR continues from Staged to Death the first book in the Caprice DeLuca Mystery series. This is one of the things that I enjoy about an author getting to see what happens to the characters after the first book is done. DEADLY DECOR does updates on all the characters from the first book. DEADLY DECOR is a quick read, not boring at all. I did enjoy reading this book. DEADLY DECOR has everything someone would want in a cozy mystery.

SUMMARY

Quiet Kismet, Pennsylvania, may look like any other small town, but as a home stager, Caprice De Luca can see behind closed doors--and it seems someone has designs on murder. . . Life is a full house for Caprice these days. She's dating, she's rescuing adorable cocker spaniels, and she's decorating the roomy interiors of Kismet's most well- heeled residents with fun fantasy themes. But she's worried about her pregnant sister. Bella's marriage is coming apart like a bad wallpaper job, and to make matters worse, she's decided to meet up with a former flame Bob Preston, a house painter Caprice frequently employs. When he's found dead in a pool of green paint swirling with blood, it's time for Caprice to stage an investigation. With all eyes trained on Bella's husband, Caprice shifts her attention from finding the perfect curtains to finding the perfect culprit. . .
