Lyda is trying to break out into her real estate career. She has a huge opportunity, but the house requires a lot of work first. While staging the home, she needs to run out, but when she comes back the gardener is dead in the main bedroom. 

 

This was a cute and fun short story. I enjoyed the staging aspect, and the murder added another fun aspect to the story. I really loved following along as Lyda tried to figure out what had happened to the gardener. I loved how this one came together in the end.

Elle Cosimano always creates such an enjoyable story with lovable characters! 

This is a novella about a realtor who has to solve a crime at one of her listings. Cosimano has a way with crafting characters that you want to root for! Has a similar vibe to her Finlay Donovan series but is still unique. The narration was great and it's a wonderful story to listen to in one sitting! Cozy and quick, a perfect addition to your fall tbr!

Overall, I would recommend Staged and the short story collection as a whole!
