About this eBook
USA Today–bestselling author:Staging a home turns into canvassing a crime scene . . . “The story is quick and exciting to the end.” —RT Book Reviews
Between training her new puppy, helping her sister with her baby, and searching for the perfect vintage dress for Kismet’s Valentine’s Day dance, home-stager Caprice De Luca has a lot on her to-do list. But she’s never too busy to do a little staging, and she’s looking forward to thawing February’s frozen real estate market with her Hearts and Flowers Open House.
Her client Louise Downing’s romantically decorated home practically staged itself. But when Louise is found murdered, Caprice is forced to turn her attention from sweethearts to suspects. And as the truth comes out in stages, she discovers that Louise had more secrets than a box of chocolate truffles . . .
Praise for Staged to Death
“A fascinating inside look at the art of home-staging—but did I mention it's also an elegantly crafted murder mystery featuring an irresistible sleuth?” —Leslie Meier, New York Times–bestselling author of Irish Parade Murder

I want to like these books, but there is so much detail about what some animal does and the clothes everyone wears. I guess that is a theme in most "cozies."

Another murder and screwed up m/f relation story made LOL fun. Murder and detective work would seem grim subjects but Ms. Smith defeats it with an extended loving Italian-American family, warm friendships, furred friends, good food (use the recipes, yum!), and a lot of optimistic humor. As always, looking forward to the next chapter.

I like the Caprice DeLuca books...I like the details Karen throws in...from the clothes to the animals...it makes the story pop in my mind with characters that seem so real...
