Haley Farrell is taking a chance on herself. After receiving her
interior design certificate, she quits her job at the local
furniture store and decides to open her own interior decorating
business. But with all the advantages of her new career-meeting new
people, and decorating new and old homes-comes a huge pitfall. Her
new job allows her access into her clients' homes and their lives .
. . but also their deaths.
When Haley's mentor, Marge Norwalk, is murdered, Haley becomes the
prime suspect. Armed only with the confidence that Marge instilled
in her, Haley sets out to find the real murderer. But as she sets
forth, she has no idea what twists and turns will bring her
face-to-face with her long-hidden past.
Book one in the Deadly Décor Mysteries will keep both Ginny Aiken's
established readership and new fans coming back for more.
Sometimes decorating can be deadly serious
Haley Farrell is taking a chance on herself. After earning her
interior design certificate, she quits her retail job and opens a
decorating business. But starting her own company may be tougher
than she first thought. Just as Haley's first assignment gets
underway, she suddenly finds herself as the prime suspect in a
murder investigation. What's worse, the victim is Haley's best
friend and mentor, Marge Norwalk.
Reeling from Marge's death, Haley soon realizes that the only way
to prove her innocence is to find the real murderer. Before long,
Haley is collecting clues and suspects like other designers collect
paint chips and fabric samples. But will contractor Dutch Merrill
and detective Lila Tsu be swayed by her investigative talents? Or
will she be the one punished for this perfectly designed crime?
