    About this ebook

    The curtain rises on Cherry Tucker's debut as a high school set designer at the posh Peerless Day Academy. Cherry's been hired for an adaptation of Romeo and Juliet, but the drama director is hoping Cherry can also turn the spotlight on a malicious social media bully who’s sending poisonous texts to the faculty. The director’s got his own drama to hide, and the phantom texter seems eager to spill school secrets. When the principal’s secretary commits suicide, Cherry suspects foul play.

    Deputy Luke Harper is ready to return as Cherry’s leading man. He’s eager to assist in finding the phantom culprit, but Cherry fears family secrets offstage may doom them to the role as star-crossed lovers. With the bully waiting for a murderous encore and her own family skeletons to hide, Cherry scrambles to find her brother and the mysterious texter before the phantom decides it’s curtains for Cherry and forces her to take a final bow.

      Artist Cherry Tucker has gotten herself a gig designing sets for the drama program at a fancy private school. The somewhat paranoid drama teacher is convinced that someone is going after him and his program. The school is in turmoil. A student committed suicide after a bullying episode, and the school secretary has recently been found dead. Cherry is convinced that the secretary's death is not suicide, and she undertakes investigation. Meanwhile, Cherry is also dealing with relationship drama. Her family is involved in some sort of Hatfied-McCoy style feud with the Branson family, which just so happens to be the step-family of the local sheriff/sort of love interest. In general, I thought the mystery part of this book was stronger than the interpersonal relationships. I jumped in the middle of this series, so I have missed some earlier events in this family drama. I plan to go back and read earlier books in this series, but I don't expect my sentiments will change. I would enjoy the book more if the balance of mystery and family drama was a bit different: more mystery, less family drama. Cherry is really, really bad at seeing trouble coming. She's like the girl in the horror movie going into the dark basement. We can all see the monster is going to get you! This is a bad idea! Why don't you see it? One final note: you could not get away with the kind of stuff in a school that Cherry is getting away with. You can't just run around a school after hours. Even if you do have the background check.

      4 STARS I like the characters especially Cherry Tucker. I want things to go her way all the time. She gets into so much trouble trying to help. I want things to work out for her and Luke. Their families have been feuding for years. No one except them want things to work. Cherry Tucker is an artist. She also gets involved trying to figure out mysteries. She does not make much. Her new roommate is her ex-husband. Luke Harper is a deputy working for Cherry's Uncle Will. Luke has a nice girl stalking him. His cousin hates Cherry. Luke hates that Cherry gets involved in dangerous things she shouldn't. He wants to get back with Cherry. Cherry is hired to help with scenery at a local private school. The drama teacher also wants her to find out who is cyber bullying him and other teachers. Also he wants Max to give to the school. A teacher commits suicide but Cherry does not buy it. She is finding out a lot of secrets at the school. Lots of drama at the school, also around Cherry and Luke's romance. Cherry has a lot of drama in her family lives right now to. Cherry reminds me a little like Charlie Brown were nothing goes right for her. Her Lucy is Shawna Luke's step cousin. There is a lot of snooping, spying and action that gets Cherry in dangerous situations. I can't wait to see what happens next in Cherry's life and who ends up with whom. I was given this ebook to read and asked in return to give honest review and be part of its blog tour.

      Death in Perspective is the first book that I have read in Reinhart's Cherry Tucker series, and it definitely won't be the last. Reinhart's Cherry Tucker is a great leading character, and I thought that she was well developed through the book. Since I started with book four, I was immediately thrust into the middle of some crazy family drama as Cherry's love life proved to be very complicated however Reinhart made it very easy to care about Cherry. The book's mystery is well done, and I liked how Cherry put herself in the middle of the investigation to help with the school's bullying policy. The book has enough twists and turns to keep the reader guessing, and it also had some fun secondary characters that only added to the story. Overall Death in Perspective was a great read, and I enjoyed reading it so much that I already purchased book one in the series. I would definitely recommend this book, and I think that it can be read as a standalone however the reader would probably enjoy catching these characters in the previous books as well.Received a copy of Death in Perspective through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

      I love this book — #4 in the Cherry Tucker Mystery series. The main character of Death in Perspective, Cherry Tucker, has a great sense of humor, as do many of her friends, family members, and neighbors. I was laughing out loud at times while I read it. The pacing is just right — neither too slow, nor too fast. I had a hard time putting Death in Perspective down. In fact, I stayed up late to finish it; it's that good!

      Cherry and the other characters seem realistic, and are placed in realistic situations. Author Larissa Reinhart's world-building in Death in Perspective is spot on. The town of Halo, in Forks County, Georgia, seems so real to me, that I am (almost) fully convinced that I can drive down there, visit with Cherry and her family and friends, meet Tater and Snickerdoodle, eat some barbecue at the Lickety Pig, and hang out a while at Red's County Line Tap.

      The mystery of Death in Perspective's "malicious social media bully" comes to a thrilling conclusion. I suspected who the perpetrator might be, but my correct guess in no way detracted from my enjoyment of this great, very fun read. The serious subject of suicide, including teen suicide, is handled well and in a sensitive manner.

      In addition to the resolved mystery in Death in Perspective, there is more to the ongoing mystery that began in book 1, Portrait of a Dead Guy, when Shawna Branson asked Cherry for some photographs that Shawna had lost. In preparation for reading and reviewing Death in Perspective, I re-read books 1 - 3, and found several clues to this series mystery that I had not picked up on earlier. I am looking forward to reading book #5, to find out what happens next in the continuing saga of Shawna's photos.

      Because of this continuing mystery in the Cherry Tucker Mysteries, I recommend that the books be read in order; however, it is possible to read Death in Perspective as a stand-alone. The important task is .... read the book!

      I recommend Death in Perspective to all cozy mystery fans, especially those who like "hick lit" (the author's term — I love it!) books with strong, sassy heroines and quirky characters.

      Death in Perspective has earned Five Kitties, our highest rating!
