First of all, let me say that this book was much better than the book prior. Sophie's mother and sister are not part of this book for which I was grateful.

Sophie's neighbor, Professor Mordecai Artemus, has died and left all his estate to his dog. Sophie feels badly that she never attempted to befriend the professor, but she doesn't have time to deal with that for she is in charge of the annual home and garden expo "Rooms and Blooms". Keeping two hundred builders, landscapers, interior designers, and home product companies happy, working, and not feuding is taking her attention and time. Unfortunately, her nemesis Natasha, is one of the two hundred! Along with this, Natasha in her zeal to win a coveted decorating award, takes over Mordecai's house and assigns rooms to different designers to renovate the house for the statewide Spring Home and Garden Tour. That would be fine, except Sophie finds a body in the window seat of the room she is to redecorate. However, when she gets the proper authorities there, the body is gone. Wolf can't help her which delights Detective Kenner no end, so Sophie must help herself and her best friend Nina (who thinks she may have accidentally killed the man in the window seat).

This book was a good read. I didn't see the situation on the last page coming at all, and I must confess that I smiled. Sophie will be in a bind at the beginning of the next book, I am sure!
