Baffled in the Boutique

A Temp Job Cozy Mystery, Book 8

Temp Jobs Can Be Murder!

Scarlett Chase’s temp job at a home décor boutique is about as close to her former dream career as an interior designer as she can get while still lacking most of the fun and creative aspects of it. The boutique owner, Flora Campbell, is a sweet older woman who is often opinionated and blunt. Despite Scarlett’s differences with her boss, the job is making her realize just how much she misses interior design.

When Flora finds a murder victim in the back room of the boutique one morning, Scarlett decides to let the police handle the case this time. She can’t help but notice, though, how many people actually have a motive for killing Flora.

Could the murderer have made a mistake? The boutique was closed at the time of the murder, and the victim shouldn’t have even been there. Was Flora the intended target?

Scarlett is determined to uncover the truth even when the clues become confusing. The more she investigates, the more scandals and scams involving Flora and the boutique she finds.

Danger is lurking much too close to Scarlett and the people she loves. Can she solve the mysteries before someone she cares about gets hurt?

Murder—unlike her job—isn’t temporary.

Baffled in the Boutique is the eighth book in the fun and clever Temp Jobs Cozy Mystery Series.

Outstanding addition to the series!

Baffled in the Boutique is the 8th in the Temp Job Cozy Mystery series by K.B. Blake. In this book, Scarlett Chase is working at a home decor boutique while the assistant is out on maternity leave. Scarlett is enjoying using her interior design expertise in this temp position, despite her prickly boss and entitled customers. It gets more complicated when a murdered woman is found in the shop, an internet scam impacts the owner and Scarlett’s investigating reveals cheating and blackmail. I love this series and the characters are relatable and likeable old friends. With each book, the reader can pick up where we left off and have another great adventure together. The character development over the course of the series is outstanding. Although each book is a standalone, there are some overarching themes and story lines that continue through the series. This book left a cliffhanger so we can be assured that Scarlett will be on the case again in the future. The narration by Amber Battaglia is outstanding. She creates unique voices and accents for all the characters. Her wonderful performance brings the characters and story to life.
