What if you discovered your lively new friend wasn't really...alive?

Amanda Tucker is excited about opening her fashion design studio in Shops on Main, a charming old building in historic Abingdon, Virginia. She didn't realize a ghost came with the property! But soon Maxine "Max" Englebright, a young woman who died in 1930, isn't the only dead person at the retail complex. Mark Tinsley, a web designer with a know-it-all attitude who also rented space at Shops on Main, is shot in his office.

Amanda is afraid that one of her new "friends" and fellow small business owners is his killer, and Max is encouraging her to solve Mark's murder a la Nancy Drew. Easy for Max to want to investigate - the ghostly fashionista can't end up the killer's next victim!

Critic reviews

“As a sucker for a fun ghost story, I can say Gayle Leeson’s DESIGNS ON MURDER scores on many levels including a spunky entrepreneur and a charming setting. Now that I’ve read the first one, I’ll be counting the days until the next in the series arrives.” (Lorna Barrett, author of the New York Times best-selling Booktown Mysteries)

"In DESIGNS ON MURDER, Gayle Leeson sketches a stylish plot accessorized with a spectral fashionista sidekick. This series debut is a delight!" (Diane Vallere, national best-selling author)

I did enjoy this audiobook. However, a couple of things drove me a little crazy. The mention of Designs on You sooo many times. My shop or the shop could have replaced many of the times it was mentioned. The only other thing was the cadence used for Connie. It was annoying.

Fun read

At the beginning of this book, I didn't think I would finish it. But, I continued to listen and discovered that I liked it. I'll get the next book.

LOVE THIS SERIES AND READER! IT IS STRESS FREE READING WITH A WONDERFUL CAST OF CHARACTERS, AN ENTERTAINING SETTING, AND JUST THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF MYSTERY. OH, AND A FUNNY SPUNKY GHOST! MAX IS JUST "THE ELEPHANT'S EYEBROWS." I CANNOT WAIT TO SEE WHAT IS NEXT FOR AMANDA, GRANDPA, MAX, AND JASON (TROPICAL COLOR EYES - LOVE THAT DESCRIPTION).

WHAT A GREAT NEW FIND

Amanda notices a beautiful shop and decides to go in there, she meets Maxine and is just taken with the shop and decides she would like to start her own retro clothing design business and rents the shop. Not too long after she rents the shop one of the tenants is murdered and after that things get really convoluted as everyone's trying to figure out who killed the tenant. Maxine is a hoot she comes up with all these old slang comments that are just so much fun, never heard the elephant's eyebrows before that had me laughing. narrator does a very good job with the various characters voices as well as the entire storyline.

Fun Cosy Murder Ghost Story
