For Sale By Killer by Catherine Bruns is the third book in the “Cindy York” mystery series. Publisher: Gemma Halliday Publishing, May 2018

If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Words for Cindy York to live by. The struggling real estate agent, full-time mother, and part-time sleuth has been having a tough winter and is desperate for a juicy commission. When she stumbles across a quaint mansion that’s “For Sale by Owner,” she can hardly believe her luck. Percy Rodgers is anxious to move and immediately hires Cindy as his agent. But when she shares the exciting news with boss and best bud, Jacques Forte, he tells her that Mr. Rodgers neighborhood is a dangerous place to play, since the man just served 20 years for murdering his wife. Before Cindy can axe the deal, she stumbles over another dead body inside the house and is swept up in family drama, resentment, and decade old secrets that someone will kill to keep. If Cindy isn’t careful, this may end up being one deal that really is to die for.

Cindy is back in full force in the real estate business, when once again, she becomes involved in a murder case that starts out in the past but has bearings on the present and Cindy is determined to prove that the victim was not the guilty paryt of the long-ago murder. What a tangled web of deceit that follows as Cindy and Jacques find themselves in dangerous situations. All along, Cindy has to deal with her newborn and her mother-in-law.

This is a fun read and I enjoyed every minute. The mystery was well-written and the author did a great job in setting it up with the discovery of the body, with the personal dramas that both Jacques and Cindy had to deal with and a fast-paced whodunit that kept me entertained throughout. I love this tale as it was well-rounded giving me enough of a plot to sink my teeth in as I followed along with Cindy as her sleuthing took her closer to the truth with a few red herrings that kept me glued to the pages. I also enjoy the family scenes which adds to my reading pleasure. This is one of my favorite series by the author and the best in the series and I hope there are more adventures with Cindy and her family and friends.
