This is the third entry in a series about a decorator/crime solver.  This book is my favorite so far-it can be read as a stand alone, but why miss the fun of the previous stories.  I think the reason this keeps getting better is that the main character, Deva, keeps changing and growing as does her relationship with the requisite hot cop.  Deva is a widow and she's is finally emerging from her grief to see her marriage and husband more realistically.  Once she starts to realize that both were great-not perfect-she is able to deepen her new relationship, just not without growing pains.  The murder in this story is interesting and well plotted but is secondary to the great characters who make up Deva's life and business.  The people who surround Deva are funny, quirky, crazy and really well fleshed out by the author.  The author has a gift for vivid descriptions, so if you like decorating you will enjoy the home deco parts of the story.  All in all, a fun cozy mystery romp through the world of Deva the decorator and much recommended for a few hours of light reading.
