As Meg gets closer to the truth, the killer will do anything to paint her out of the picture…

Better Homes and Corpses
This was a very entertaining book. It was a little slow to start, but picked up nicely. There was one unresolved part...who was the next door neighbor who was talked about, but the reader never got to meet?
Enjoyable Read!
A good mystery story with many other facets of interesting things to learn about antiques, decorating and cooking. Well done!
