Sam Turner feels
more secure as a real estate agent. Her boss Everett Sweet seems to
think well of her. When he assigns her an open house in Arlinda's
most exclusive neighborhood, she thinks she's arrived. She evens
dreams of selling the house during the open house, although Everett
says no one in the agency has been able to do that.
Sam arrives at the
home full of plans, but nothing comes off the way it's supposed to.
None of the potential customers are interested in buying the house.
One brings a dog with fleas, another wants to be sure the new owner
will take care of the trees on the property line, and a couple steal
all the precious objects setting around. However, the worst comes
when Sam decides to bake cookies and finds a finger in the
refrigerator, which leads to a body in the back yard.
The characters are
the best part of this cozy mystery. Arlinda abounds in zany
residents, and Sam fits right in. She tries hard, but everything she
touches seems to have a hilarious hidden problem. The mystery is hard
to guess. The author drops clues along the way, but it takes until
the end of the book to put them all together.
If you enjoy cozy
mysteries this is a good one.
I received this book
from Net Galley and Random House for this review.
