After
their honeymoon Claire and Peter are back home sharing a two bedroom apartment
with their daughter Caron and most of the time Carons BFF is there which
means Clair needs a new home and she would like to move while she is still
sane. The problem is there is nothing in Farberville, Arkansas for rent or to
buy.
The
real estate agent Angela Delmond makes one last effort to find Claire and Peter
the house of their dreams as she shows Clairie a home that is not yet on the
market. Claire falls in love with the house and all would be well if Angela
hadn't disappeared while showing Claire the house.
No
Angela and it turns out the owner of the house lives in Florida. The other
problem is he doesn't know if he can sell Claire the house. There are legal
issues. However he might be able to lease her the house until it's for Claire
to buy.
This
would all be happily house after if Terry the owner hadn't been poisioned and
soon after died.
More
teen angst and drama are on the scene and this time it's not Caron or Inez but
a relative of the people who are holding up the purchase of Claire's
dreamhouse.
More
people die and pretty soon Claire realizes if she hopes to move into the dream
house she better figure out who is murdering the family and for what reason
they are being murdered.

wit and quirky characters are met with a cunning plot and a family plot to die
for...

You just had to do it, right? Now I have ANOTHER book ordered from the library which will make my pick up stack even larger and heavier... SHEESH!
ReplyDeleteI love Joan's books so yes I'm going to read it. Even my partner enjoys her stories so it will be doubly loved.
Yep Nora I had to because she doesn't have books come out as often as she used to write them. You and your partner will enjoy this one as I didn't delve into everything in the review. I only wrote enough to hit the highlights. There is something for everyone in this book.
