Synopsis

Shopping meets suspense in this enticing new cocktail of sassy-smart sleuthing featuring a spunky decorator who can hunt down furniture—and murder.

As a tireless mom of three, the doting spouse of a surgeon, and a talented interior designer to the stars, Lacy Fields can always find the perfect piece to finish a living room—or an investigation.

When Lacy’s beautiful young client Cassie Crawford drops dead after a sip of tea in her newly decorated LA penthouse, Lacy once again finds herself in the midst of murder. She’s stunned when suspicion lands on her own best friend, hot Hollywood casting agent Molly Archer—whose “friendship” with Cassie’s billionaire mogul husband brings her to the attention of the LAPD. Lacy will have to set aside seeking antiques to hunt down a dangerous killer. But this time, she’s not alone. Sleuthing becomes a family affair.

From a rough-and-tumble biker with a heart of gold to a relentless university fund-raiser, Lacy will follow every one of Cassie Crawford’s precarious footsteps in order to clear her best friend’s name. But by doing so, will she put her own family in the path of a desperate killer?

A Job to Kill For is the second book in the Lacy Fields Mystery series. I got the first book by being cheap (it was in a buy 3 for $5 bin) and I’m very glad for my cheapness because these are good books. Lacy Fields is an interior decorator in Cali, her husband, a plastic surgeon. But she keeps getti......more

Goodreads review by Emilia on October 06, 2014

strange cosy... I mean - everything goes good, as I'd expect from every cosy mystery - suspects, situations, etc... past 3/4 of the book I am starting to wonder "who done it" as all the suspects are equally non-probable... and then just as if the author realized that the book should be going to the......more
