Better Homes and Corpses

Hamptons Home & Garden Mystery Series #1

By: Kathleen Bridge

Narrated by: Vanessa Daniels

In between scouring estate sales for her new interior design business, Cottages by the Sea, Meg Barrett visits the swanky East Hampton home of her old college roommate, Jillian Spenser. But instead of seeing how the other half lives, she learns how the other half dies. Jillian's mother, known as the Queen Mother of the Hamptons, has been murdered. Someone has staged a coup.

When she helps a friend inventory the Spensers' estate for the insurance company, Meg finds herself right in the thick of things. Cataloging valuable antiques and art loses its charm when Meg discovers that the Spenser family has been hiding dangerous secrets that may have furnished a murderer with a motive. As Meg gets closer to the truth, the killer will do anything to paint her out of the picture.

Critic reviews

"The descriptions of furniture and other antiques, as well as juicy tidbits on the Hamptons, make for entertaining reading for those who enjoy both antiques and lifestyles of the rich and famous." ( Booklist)

okay..

this was an okay book. a little too long. some repeated information that could have been left out. I enjoyed the antique descriptions. although the language was fairly mild, there was too much cursing for me. I will not likely listen to the sequels.

Fun read

Great first entry. Hope there are more to come. Unique and interesting heroine. Complicated, yet captivating plot.

Light fun reading

This was a good book with strong character development and an interesting mystery. I look forward to the next book in this series.

Loved it!

This was a clean story, no cursing or explicit sex scenes. I would recommend it for young readers as well as older readers who prefer a PG or G rating. The storyline had twists that kept me guessing until almost the end.
