During the open house, Caprice comes across Ted and Valerie in a compromising situation. The big question, should she tell Roz what she has witnessed? Right when Caprice has decided that she should tell Roz, Ted is murdered. Not only is he murdered in his house, but by one of his precious swords.

Of course being the spouse, Roz is the prime suspect. Caprice knows that her friend could never have committed this murder. Caprice sets out to crack this case wide open.

Karen Rose Smith had me from the beginning. I really enjoy the way she writes. It is very heartwarming showing the friendship between two friends. Even though they travel in different circles, they still remained friends. At the end of the books there are several recipes. Since I enjoy trying new recipes, I can't wait to try some of these.

Since STAGED TO DEATH is the first Caprice DeLuca Mystery, I am sure that the next one will be just as good.
