About this listen

Is it harder to find a killer or land a buyer? In this playful short story from New York Times bestselling author Elle Cosimano, two unlikely real estate agents become even unlikelier detectives.

A million problems arise when trying to flip a crumbling old Victorian. But Lyda, a newbie seller, and Dani, a TikTok-trained home stager, are fixated on one: the dead landscaper in the bedroom. The notorious lothario was one of many last-minute contractors swarming around, and now every jilted lover and business competitor is a suspect. It’s up to Lyda and Dani to close the case before the open house.

Elle Cosimano’s Staged is part of Busybodies, a collection of quirky mysteries featuring amateur gumshoes who stumble upon peculiar cases. Calling all snoops! Read or listen to each arresting story in a single sitting.

FINLAY DONOVAN CODED

I was looking forward to seeing what this author would write outside of the Finlay Donovan series. This is basically Finlay and Vero in real estate instead of running from the mob. I still liked it. Still has the same kind of humor that I like in the Finlay series. Short so don’t expect depth but still a good read.

Staged

Staged by Elle Cosimano is a fast paced mystery that combines real estate and amateur sleuthing in an entertaining short story. When Lyda, a new real estate agent, and Dani, a home stager, discover a dead landscaper in one of her listings, they find themselves juggling a murder investigation along with a property flip. As suspects mount, these unlikely detectives must solve the case before the open house. This story is filled with humor and sharp wit, perfect for this lighthearted mystery.

Fun quick read

3.5 stars

This was a quick fun read, but I wish it had been a longer book. There wasn't time for any character development or anything like that. I wouldn't have minded some spice either.
