About

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?

Reviews

"Haley Farrell in Design On A Crime had me laughing. Design On A Crime is a well done, first person mystery. I look forward to reading more from Ginny Aiken and eagerly anticipate Decorating Schemes coming in 2006." --Allison M. Wilson, Road to Romance

"This murder mystery has an un usual twist... the main character, who is also the person telling the story, is an interior designer and is a suspect in the murder of her very dear friend, who happens to also be an owner of another successful design firm. The suspect, Haley Farell, carries with her a shroud from her past that isn't revealed until you are well in to the novel. You will find that this is an enjoyable read."--1340mag.com
