Better Homes and Corpses: A Hamptons Home & Garden Mystery | Kathleen Bridge
2 posts | 3 read | 6 to read
After Meg Barrett found her fiancé still had designs on his ex-wife, she decided it was time to refurbish her life. Leaving her glamorous job at a top home and garden magazine, she fled Manhattan for Montauk, only to find decorating can sometimes lead to detecting… In between scouring estate sales for her new interior design business, Cottages by the Sea, Meg 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, which 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… FIRST IN A NEW SERIES

This was a reread for me for a book discussion, but my first review of the book on Litsy!

I really enjoy this series; first in the Hamptons Home and Garden cozy mystery series. There are so many layers to this one, and I love the fact that Meg is not your typical amateur sleuth. A great cast of characters, decorating and collecting tips, and great descriptions that make you feel like you are in the Hamptons. Highly recommended!

MidnightBookGirl Congrats on your first Litsy review! I've been reading a lot of cozies recently, and I love this title! 3y
Librarybelle @MidnightBookGirl Thanks! It‘s my first time reviewing this particular book on Litsy…I must have read it the first time before I joined Litsy, as I was surprised not to see I had rated or reviewed it before. Cozies are fun and a perfect escape from reality for me! 3y
Tamra Love the punny title! 😄 3y
