With Killer Views is the sixth book in the Flamingo Reality series by Cee Cee James. It’s another delightful, quirky read. Stella O’Neil is still recovering from her car accident when she gets the fabulous listing of a custom-built house on a hill with a wonderful view. Unfortunately, it was previously owned by Mr. Brown, the recent victim of a questionable ‘hunting accident’ and then man under investigation in a banking scandal regarding treasures stolen from safety deposit boxes. Visitors to the open house seem to be searching for treasure. I enjoyed the book very much.
Stella O’Neill has a new listing, but it is not an ordinary home. The home was built on a hill and has a fantastic view. Unfortunately, the previous owner had a somewhat unsavory history, which could pose a few problems with selling the home. The previous owner, Mr. Brown, was involved in a bank scandal regarding artifacts that were stolen from safety deposit boxes. Shortly thereafter, he became a recluse. His seclusion came to an abrupt end when he was killed.
There are actually two homes on the hill. Both were built by the same contractor and originally owned by the same family. The second home had been purchased by Charlotte Taylor a couple of years earlier. When Stella conducts an Open House, there are a lot of people who seem to be searching the house, rather than actually looking at a prospective purchase. To add to the mystery, Charlotte insists she sees a ghost wandering around the hill at night and even has it on video.
Who killed Mr. Brown? What happened to the stolen artifacts? Will Stella be able to unravel the mystery and sell the house?
CeeCee James has created a unique series, one which includes a main mystery, as well as a continuing background story. The main mystery in each book is resolved, with the background story progressing with each successive book. Even with the continuing background story, each book can easily stand on its own.
With Killer Views
Ms. James has a most amazing imagination. Her murder mysteries are not your run-of-the-mill variety. She also presents a well-written and well-told story that weaves a little romance into this intriguing whodunit. This is the first experience Stella has representing a deceased client via their out-of-state trustee. The home is beautiful, a little spooky, and holding a few secrets. Of course, Stella and her curiosity are not able to ignore the strange goings-on at the house. She has an insatiable desire to get to the bottom of things. But being hampered physically, and somewhat emotionally as well – from injuries sustained in a recent near-death accident – has made her more dependent on her family and friends for help.
On the home front…Stella’s family is effectively beginning to function as the family unit she has yearned for most of her life. The last biggest obstacle they are facing is about to be successfully tackled. And just when Stella’s physical and emotional issues are being healed and she is contemplating romance, the romance that was swirling around her in the air seems to have blown away!
This is a fun, clean, and easy read. I recommend it to anyone who enjoys an entertaining whodunit with the added flavor of romance sprinkled throughout.
This series is always so enjoyable with subtle humor that I enjoy. The stories are great reading and I always look forward to each new adventure.
I am reading the series and waiting for the latest installment.
I love this series! As a Real Estate Broker myself I love reading these stories because it’s about listings and open houses and lots of murder! Whimsical and entertaining I highly recommend!
