Starr Stiletta knows exactly what to expect at a Sunday open house—nosy neighbors, fake buyers, and people who show up solely for the free food. What she doesn't expect is a dead body in the living room—bludgeoned with one of her own "for sale" signs and bleeding all over the sustainably sourced hardwood floors. Within hours, Starr is barefoot, broke, and splashed across the evening news as a person of interest. Her condo is surrounded by paparazzi, her colleagues are whispering, her mother—the mayor—is panicking, and everyone wants to know one thing: did Starr really kill her rival… and then go shoe shopping?
As the investigation spirals, Starr must dodge the police, outsit the media, survive family "strategy meetings," and figure out who really murdered her colleague—before she gets arrested, canceled, or forced to wear Walmart sneakers forever. Along the way, she'll face jealous realtors, shady clients, bad decisions, worse timing, and a town that treats homicide like a spectator sport.
"Open House Homicide" is a sharp, laugh-out-loud cozy mystery packed with scandals, stilettos, and sarcasm—perfect for readers who like their murder with high heels, bad behavior, and a heroine who refuses to suffer quietly… or unfashionably.
