Another great Cece Caruso mystery... well, almost. This trade paperback size (the previous books have all been mass market paperback) cost me double what the previous books did- and this was shorter and not quite as good as the rest. The mystery seemed kind of ramshackle, and instead of Cece having fun adventures on her own and encounters with her interesting friends, we mainly spend time with her disgusting ex-husband and her needy fiance. I'm still a fan, but I found this to be the weakest of the series. If they keep up the $14 price tag for the next one, I'll get it from the library or used instead.

As a fashion hound and mystery buff, I like this series.

A new suspense-themed housing tract on the edge of the Mojave Desert is about to open, and who better to help promote the Cotswold-cozy development than mystery biographer extraordinaire Cece Caruso? For the grand opening weekend, Cece is staging a play featuring the beloved sleuth Miss Marple. Of course, everything goes wrong, including a leading lady who ends up dead.

All is not well in Christietown; its secrets are as complicated as the truth behind Agatha Christie's real-life disappearance. The developer, an Englishman who claims to be Dame Agatha's descendant, has ruthless investors breathing down his neck. Meanwhile, Cece's got a wedding to plan, a baby shower to give, and an ex-husband who shows up on her doorstep with his fiancee and future mother-in-law. And when another body surfaces, the intrepid amateur sleuth knows she must play the famed detective for realor suffer the same mysterious fate.
