Daisy McDare wants nothing more than to find the man of her dreams and build a thriving interior decorator business. Instead she finds herself heartbroken and in the middle of a murder investigation.
Daisy is in the middle of a decorating job at a famed local celebrity’s mansion when the arrogant painter is found murdered in his backyard studio. Suddenly there’s a house full of suspects, each … each with a bigger reason to want the victim dead than the next.
When the local police get stumped during their investigation, Daisy realizes she’ll have to take matters into her own hands.
But she can’t crack the case alone. She recruits her cupcake-baking best friend Samantha, wise-cracking Granny Annie, and her feisty West Highland Terrier Shamus to find the killer.

4 Star review Daisy McDare and The Deadly Art Affair (Daisy McDare #1) by KM Morgan
Audio Review:
Both the author K.M.Morgan and and narrator Caroline Shively were new to me and I have no idea why that is. This was an entertaining story which is a cosy mystery and one that I was able to dive into.
Daisy is an interior designer who happens upon a murder at her latest design job. There are a few twists, turns and surprises in Daisy McDare and The Deadly Art Affair as Daisy and her band of friends follow the clues.
The narrator did a credible job voicing the characters. This was a a book filled with secrets and lies, intrigue and suspense which kept me guessing as I listened to this story.
This was a fun book to read. So many interesting characters (suspects): an unlikeable victim, a trophy wife, an ex-wife, two estranged children living at home, a gardener, a cook, a former maid and her daughter/girlfriend. The book will keep you guessing. I completely enjoyed it.
Daisy McDare and the Deadly Art Affair, my second read/listen from author K.M. Morgan, although I own fourteen of her books I’d never gotten around to reading one until I read The Deadly Floral Affair. A cute, well-written clean cozy mystery. Since I own both the Kindle & Audible editions I was able to read along while listening. Narrator Caroline Shively talented narration added to the book’s enjoyment.

Daisy McDare-interior Decorator LOVES what she does! She also LOVES Chocolate and any kind of pastry. Luckily for her her best friend’s grandmother owns a pastry shop–well her best friend now owns it–but Granny is there every day! So is Daisy—everything is going wrong in her love life–her ex dropped her for someone else–big problem–how will she ever be able to let her dog run in the park anymore–this of course calls for more pastries and chocolate!
She got a call from an old friend who married money–big money–and was hired to re do one of the rooms in the mega mansion. Daisy is in heaven–until she realizes that her friend may have money but is really not very happy. Her adult step kids hate her (and they live in the house)-her husband is kind of distant–he is an artist–then the unthinkable happens–the husband is murdered.
Her friend convinces Daisy to try and figure out who did it while still redecorating that one room—lots of chocolate and pastries later she does get to the bottom of it (before the police)–
This is an easy going kind of cozy mystery which kept me interested. I wasn’t really sure who the murderer was–until it was revealed.
She’d Rather Have Chocolate
Light and light-hearted; the solution to every problem involves sugar, preferably chocolate. A curvaceous interior designer, recovering from massive heartbreak, gets involved in a murder investigation. The gleefully cheerful voice of narrator Caroline Shively is perfect for capturing the mood and spirit of our adventuress and her life. Plus, dogs!
A soap opera in book form, which may have you running for the cookie jar. Cute story, good beach read. Happy reading!
