It is as entertaining as the other books in this series. I was not disappointed. Ms. Smith engages the reader from the first page and keeps the reader engrossed until the very end. Cozy mysteries are my favorite genre and this mystery met my expectations completely.Caprice De Luca is an interior decorator turned home stager has established a home staging business. She agrees to stage the home of Alanna Goodwin the girlfriend of her friend, Ace Richland. Alanna is far from a prim and proper Southern belle. Much to her dismay, Caprice finds Alanna home murdered with, Ace pronounced to be the prime suspect. As Caprice investigates and learns of Alanna’s secrets, which could have led to her murder, Caprice is lead to more clues. As Caprice questions additional suspects, she soon finds someone will resort to violence to stop her sleuthing. Grant, her brother's partner, and her sometime boyfriend helps caprice in her sleuthing. The story has a tightly woven plot with many twists, turns and red herrings to keep you guessing. Readers who appreciate well written cozy mysteries readers will enjoy helping Caprice solve this crime. I really like Caprice, her family, friends, pets and the town, Kismet, PA. This is the second book I've read in this series, and I'm definitely hooked. The relationships between Caprice, Seth and Grant are appropriately written, including all of Caprice's doubts and concerns about each one as she tries to choose between them. I, personally, don’t care for love triangles, but the author deftly resolved that concern by the end of the book. As in real life, balancing one’s time between work, caring for your beloved animals and helping out your family is not rarely easy. It far worse if trying to solve a murder is thrown into the mix. As readers already know, Caprice has a soft spot for animals and treats Lady, her dog and Sophia, her cat as members of her family. Caprice also adds a new fur baby to her household, Mirabelle. This is the white Persian cat that had been Alanna’s.I’ve had the opportunity to read most of the books in this series since Staged to Death was published. This series take has grown and the characters and plots have continually developed. Each book can be read as a stand-alone, but I suggest that you read them in order. That makes it much easier to follow the family relationships that are referenced in the books and to keep track of the other characters. This installment has intrigue, suspense, suspects, humor, family values, cute animals, forgiveness, romance and great food with delicious recipes which end the book. I recommend this, along with the rest of the series, you will not be disappointed. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Another GREAT book in the series *by B***Y on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 22, 2016* This is Caprice De Luca Home Staging Mystery Series, Book 4 . As like the others, it has the wonderful mystery, suspense, humor and a little romance that makes the book wonderful. When ever Caprice has a scheduled home staging, there will also be a dead body and a new murder for her to nose around on. This time is the new fiancé of her good friend the rock star, Ace. Alanna isn't known for her sweet personality and Caprice and her butted heads when Caprice staged Alanna's home to sell before marrying and moving in with Ace. Caprice would never wish anyone to be murdered, and as a favor to her friend Ace, she is looking to help to find out who did this. When it comes to her family, they are the most important things in her life with her pets. Her grandmother "nana's" health has taken a turn. Funny how it is at the same time her grandmothers elusive son, has entered their lives again. If her life isn't crazy enough, she must choose between the two men she cares about. (I was thrilled with the one she chose!) Another fantastic book by Karen Rose Smith!! A great, great series. I really thought I had figured out the "who dunnit" this time, but the author has surprised me. Again!!
