Description
A home stager finds a few skeletons in her client's closet in this cozy series debut—"an elegantly crafted murder mystery featuring an irresistible sleuth" (Leslie Meier).

Former interior designer Caprice De Luca has parlayed her skills into a thriving new career as a home stager, helping the people of Kismet, Pennsylvania, make their homes shine in a lackluster real estate market. When her old high school friend Roz Winslow asks Caprice to spruce up her mess of a mansion, she's happy to share her skills. But when Roz's husband Ted is found skewered in the sword room, it seems that Caprice has been setting the stage for murder.

When suspicion falls on Roz, it looks like she'll be making a new home in the State Penitentiary. Determined to clear her name, Caprice starts applying her eye for detail to gathering clues and catching the real killer.

"A cozy blend of murder and romance. A fun read—with recipes!" —Laura Levine
