Seville, Indiana has five traffic lights and one interior design firm—Designer Jeans, co-founded by Jean Hastings and her daughter, Jean Jr. Lately they’re finding that the keen eyes needed for plotting color schemes and tracking down flea-market treasures also come in handy for interpreting more sinister designs… Death of the party Even the death of a local bookseller can’t throw a pall over the grand re-opening of the Sleepy Hollow Country Club’s dining room. It’s a triumph for Jean, who transformed it from tired and bland to Art Deco grand. But when the manager—who fought Jean every step of the way—rises to make a toast, he promptly falls down dead. Two fatalities in one week have aroused Jean’s curiosity—and her instincts for discovering deadly patterns…
