Synopsis

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…

My review: Gilt By Association by Karen Rose Smith

 

4 STARS

 

Good cozy mystery.  This is a charming story.  Lots of cute pets, lots of De Luca family and clean read.  I like the characters.

I wish that Caprice  romance will be a little more settled.

 

Caprice is a  stager for selling high end homes.  She rescues animals.  She takes her puppy every place she can or gets a puppy sitter.  She likes her brother's partner and she also thinks about a Doctor friend who moved away for awhile.

 

Everyone who knows her after the murder wants to know if she if she is investigating it. This is the third mystery that Caprice De Luca is involved with.  She finds her client murdered. She is a old family friend.

Gilt by Association is a well told mystery, lots of suspects. Easy to jump into the series if you have not read any of the previous stories like my.  I would like to read the first two books of the series though.

I was  given Gilt By Association to read so that I could give it a honest review and be part of it's blog tour.
