My review: Deadly Decor  (Caprice De Luca Mystery #2) by Karen Rose Smith

4 stars

Now I have read all three books so far in the Caprice De Luca Mysteries.  I can't wait till next one comes out.  Deadly Décor was good.  Because I had read the third book first some of the storyline I already knew.  It would be better to read the books in order.  They can stand alone but to know the regular characters story line it works best.

This is another good cozy mystery.  I love the characters, all the animals that are so much part of Caprice's life.
Caprice is single.  She is dating a doctor.  There is another guy in her life though.  She wears vintage clothing. Stages houses, loves to rescue strays, and is curious.

Caprice's little sister Bella and her husband Joe are having problems with there marriage.   Bella finds a old high school boyfriend dead.  Bella and Joe become the main suspects. So Caprice is ready to try and find the answers to who killed Bob.

This is a clean cozy that keeps the interest of the reader in what is happening around Caprice's life.  I hated putting the book down.

I wanted more romance for Caprice.  My vote is for Grant but I do like Seth too. 

There are recipes in the back of the ebook.
