Fun start to a new series!

After Jane Smith quits her boring accounting job, she takes a spot with a local Denver rag, the Daily Orion...her new persona-Stella the Stargazer, giving advice and horoscopes to the unhappy and lovelorn. Within a short period of time, she's already the chief suspect in a murder investigation, which also involves a number of near-and-dear friends of hers. 'A Love to Die For' is the first in the Stella the Stargazer series and I was pleasantly surprised. It's a quick, light read with all the elements one hopes for in a cozy. Unusual characters, witty prose, and most of all, a juicy murder (or two)... I haven't read the other books in this series yet, but am certainly looking forward to! If you're in the market for a nice, easy read, give Stella a try. Her pet, Fluffy, is a chameleon she keeps on a tiny leash in her breast pocket....now HOW can this NOT be a fun read?

Quirky and fun

This is the first book in the Stella the Stargazer series and it hooks you from the word go. Plain Jane Smith decides to overhaul her life - ditch her dull name and job as an accountant and go out on the limb and become a columnist at a local weekly rag.Jane adopts the name Stella and immediately gets in over her head. Stella begins receiving letters from the lovelorn - and one letter in particular touches her heart (as well as her psychic senses). Looking for Lochinvar wants to find a love to die for - something that Stella would like to find as well. Stella (and Jane for that matter) also has a penchant for sexy lingerie and goes to her favorite shop Little Nothings to celebrate her new job. Then she has a vision of death and the next day her favorite designer goes missing.Not only does sexy Detective Stokowski think she did it but the list of suspects contains way too many of her friends and neighbors. Did Stella do it during one of her "fits" or is someone trying to frame her?Not only is Christine's writing style quick, playful and fun (as are the characters) but the plot moves well and is enjoyable. I must say I simply LOVE Stella's pet chameleon Fluffy. These books certainly won't change your life but they will make it a bit more enjoyable.

Good Fun!

Light and frothy without being stupid, this book (like all her others)is an entertaining diversion.

Light, amusing debut mystery!

A delightful light, cozy mystery with Stella the Stargazer responding to letters from the lovelorn based on horoscopes. Stella writes for a quirky and charming small newspaper and interacts with a number of slightly off-center friends and co-workers. Highly recommended for those who enjoy a breezy, amusing mystery.
