Upstaged by Murder

Laura Bishop Mystery, Book 3

By: Grace Topping

Narrated by: Emily Durante

When professional home stager Laura Bishop enters a competition to become the next TV home staging star, she figures it will be murder - but she doesn't expect it to include a body. As tensions rise and rivalries rage, a coded notebook flips the script, and Laura's on the case.

But she's not alone. Her closest confidantes pitch in by sleuthing, eavesdropping, and even staging a sting to protect those near and dear. Yet she's still corralling a runaway teen, sparring with a handsome detective, and handling the shock of her life with a blast from her past. All while creating a cozy cabin retreat fit for first place.

Amidst constant cameras and glaring lights, Laura tries to style the stage and pull back the curtain on a killer before her career - and her life - get cut.

5 Stars

Upstaged by Death is an entertaining mystery with engaging characters and an entertaining plot. I look forward to the next book in this series.

Cozy mystery with great characters

Upstaged by Murder is the third book I’ve read in this series and my overall favorite. Its characters are distinct and interesting. The plot has unexpected twists and turns, and the ending pulls all the elements of the story together. As an extra bonus, each chapter begins with a home staging tip! I hope there will be more books by this author.
