Jenna is still navigating being home. Her foxy neighbor Matt is supplying her with caffeine and breakfast and hunky police chief Cooper is still running hot and cold in their friendship. Blueberry Lake is getting ready for the event of the year and Jenna is busy dressing women for the annual charity auction. Mooching off of Matt, Jenna lets herself inside his house and finds him standing over the dead body of his ex girlfriend. Determined to prove his innocence she embarks on her own investigation with Allie much to Cooper's dismay. Questioning a slew of suspects puts Jenna in the cross hairs of a killer and she's lodged between Matt and Cooper who are still wanting to date her. A surprise at the charity auction puts Jenna in a rock and a hard place between the men vying for her attention and danger with a murderer on the loose who's set their sights on Jenna. Humorous and fun mystery. Jenna does need to grow up though. There has to be some responsibility in keeping food in your house and managing to be an adult. Also, she needs to make a decision on Cooper or Matt. ( )

The first book in the Murder in Style mysteries series, Secrets and Stilettos was a blast, so I wanted to give Lipstick and Lies by Gina LaManna a read. We jump in shortly after Jenna solves her first murder, but this time her hot neighbor is the one in trouble. Once again Jenna shows how loyal she is to finding the truth, even in the event of putting her own life on the line.

Lipstick and Lies still had Jenna’s cluelessness on display, which can be a fun break from your own reality. And this time, instead of rushing into danger herself, she has a sidekick, Allie. Or actually Allie would say that Jenna is the sidekick. I really enjoy Allie’s don’t care what others think of me attitude and I think she’ll add more amusement in future books.

The bachelorette auction was a blast and showed once again how much the sheriff, Cooper is into Jenna. In the last book it seemed like Jenna’s attraction may be more for Cooper, but this book had her feeling the feels for her neighbor, Matt, too. I’m interested to see where this goes, and so are the rest of the people in Blueberry Lake. Although, I have been known to stop reading series; Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evanovich and the Hannah Swensen Mysteries by Joanne Fluke because I couldn’t handle the love triangle any longer. So hopefully Jenna makes a decision soon.

Another fun read in the Murder in Style series that I recommend. ( )
