Self-described lifestyle manager, Peri Milano, has everything under control. With the organizational skills of a data processing program, the discretion of the CIA, and the creativity of an Ikea research and design engineer, she is the go-to for whatever whim her customers fancied to have fulfilled, and whatever method they needed for their madness.
So when Mr. Wooley asked her to plan a coming-out party with a funeral theme to say farewell to his "old" self, Peri has it under control. When he actually shows up dead, she's still got it under control.
But as the murder investigation swirls around her and another client begins receiving threatening letters, her grip on the world starts to loosen. And when her son winds up in the hospital, her cousin winds up on the missing person's list, and she winds up being responsible for an orphaned, adult soap-star wannabe, Peri's not sure she wants to be in control of anything ever again.
But someone needs to figure it all out. And since she's so good at it, what other choice does she have but to save everyone in her little corner of the world?
Hopefully she'll have time to save herself.
Show Up Dead A Sweet Murder from the City of Brotherly Love (Audible Audio Edition) Lisa Shiroff Jamie Soltis Tasfil Publishing Books
“The last thing I expected when I planned this funeral was for him to show up dead.”Peri Milano’s business card states “Lifestyle Manager”, a title she invented to take care of planning, coordinating and organizing routine events for her rich Philadelphia clients. Or in the case of Shelby Wooley, an unusual event—a funeral-themed party. If only he hadn’t shown up dead.
Show Up Dead is a humorous whodunit with delightful characters. Peri unwittingly investigates the case with the assistance (whether she wants it or not) of her complex, quirky mother, Honey Potts. One of Honey’s favorite pastimes is watching TV crime shows so naturally she fashions herself a detective. (She also calls Peri “poopsie” in public.) Peri’s cousin Melissa is also an enjoyable character, providing research and quips to the cause. Even the characters you aren’t supposed to like, such as ex-husband Todd, have fun qualities. Throughout the book the other characters insinuate Peri is a control freak, stressed, uptight and a busy body. But Peri is the glue that holds the story together.
The author, Lisa Shiroff, has a nice, easy style where the laughs sneak up on you. I highly recommend this book and hope she brings Peri, Honey and the gang back for more laughs and mystery.

Show Up Dead A Sweet Murder from the City of Brotherly Love (Audible Audio Edition) Lisa Shiroff Jamie Soltis Tasfil Publishing Books Reviews
Need a cake made in the shape of a walrus matching the exact hues of your favorite cartoon character? Need a janitorial themed party planed? Or do you need something simple like having your dog walked regularly? Who do you call?
Peri Milano takes care of the eccentric, the spoiled, the crazy, and even the normal on occasion. She handles everything and no detail is too small. So when a client shows up dead, no big deal, just add it to the list.
Lisa Shiroff brings the busy and complicated life of her characters straight to your imagination. You will have to read this in order for you to get your own taste of delightful and colorful characters. This story is more fun than my words could do justice for.
In her job as a lifestyle coordinator, Peri Milano is used to handling EVERYTHING from party reservations to ball gown purchases.
Handling dead bodies, however, THAT's something new.
Now she's teaming up with her eccentric mother and her cousin's AWOL wife to find out who killed a favorite client. Peri's also looking for the scoundrel who's been sending threatening messages to another client AND dealing with the reappearance of her baby daddy who's suddenly showing quite an interest in their teenage son.
And if that's not enough, she's in the enviable position of being surrounded by eligible bachelors. (Don't worry, her mother's not about to let THAT opportunity slip by unnoticed.)
This was a hilariously enjoyable mystery, peopled with characters you'll want to spend time with. They are fun, witty and extremely likable. And Peri's conversations with her mother are priceless!
I hope the whole gang returns as soon as possible to banter, bake, and bust criminals
This review is based on the sample, not the whole book. (It might have a good plot.)
I've read a lot (like series starring favourite characters Stephanie Plum, Dr. Christine Mullen and Brandy Alexander (there's also the Lexi Graves and that Australian one by Marianne Delacourt). They all have 2 major plusses. All made me laugh by the end of the first chapter; and not once was I stuck on odd grammar or bad editing (see run-on sentence). This didn't have either of those things. I waited for a joke, I waited for grammar to improve. I was still waiting when I gave up reading this.
Not worth my time
To find a dead body is serious business but keeping such a sense of humor keeps the mood light. Delightful.
There was a lot of interaction between the quirky characters; a few twists and turns. Definitely enough to keep a reader's interest. Not too many "dead spots" which I call those parts of a book where you are reading the hero's/heroine's thoughts or rehashes of the clues. Good and quick read.
Quirky characters and an interesting plot add up to make a sweet little mystery. No gore, no sex, just a nice book to curl up with. I could see these women solving more mysteries in the future. I hope the author has a series of these stories in mind.
