SYNOPSIS:
In the latest mystery from the author of Better
Homes and Corpses and Hearse
and Gardens, Hamptons interior designer and antiques picker Meg Barrett
uncovers a veil of spooky goings-on...
The first Sag Harbor Antiquarian
Book and Ephemera Fair is right around the corner, and interior designer Meg
Barrett has her hands full decorating rooms at the Bibliophile Bed &
Breakfast for wealthy rare book collector Franklin Hollingsworth. Rumor
has it Hollingsworth is in possession of an unpublished manuscript written by
F. Scott Fitzgerald. When the Fitzgerald manuscript's authenticator is found
dead at the bottom of a cliff, Meg suspects a killer is on the loose.
Rare books start disappearing
from the B & B and Meg sees a connection between the stolen books and the
deceased authenticator. With the fair looming, she finds herself caught up in
catching a killer and thief before another victim is booked for death.

Thanks so
much for stopping by. Have you ever had any dealings with an interior designer?
What was the experience like?
It sounds like fun - and I am a sucker for punning titles.
ReplyDeleteLast time we had our house painted (and it is due again) the representative of the company considered herself an interior decorator. I had to fight tooth and nail NOT to have every room a different colour and a suede feature wall.
I have not had experience with interior design. Thanks for the chance :)
ReplyDeleteGhostal Living - great title.
ReplyDeleteBlogger buddy Michael is an interior designer.
I have not had the opportunity to work with an interior designer, though I bet it would be fun. However, reading lets me experience many things vicariously. Other than the joy of being entertained, it is another of the perks of reading.

What a cute title! I hope there are some ghosts mixed into the story? Maybe the ghost of F. Scott Fitzgerald?!
ReplyDeleteThat's a very clever title! And I can see how interior design could be a solid context for a cosy series. Thanks for sharing, Mason.
ReplyDeleteI never had any dealings with an interior designers before but sounds like it would be interesting. Great reveiw thanks Penney
ReplyDeleteI've never dealt with an interior designer but it looks like they can create some wonderful things on HGTV.
ReplyDeleteThat's the perfect setup for the beach.
ReplyDeleteOur house would probably give an interior designer a heart attack.
Just found this series at Christmas. Can hardly wait for next one!!!!!!

i enjoy this series, so looking forward to more from Meg and the group. I have not had experience with an actual interior designer, but I used lots of decorator magazines to redo my bedroom and bathroom. That was fun!

What a good idea to have tips and recipes at the end.
ReplyDeleteI haven't ever had an interior designer. I used my creative ideas.
ReplyDeleteIf you saw all the white walls around our house, you would know I have had zero interactions with any sort of interior designer! Over the years, we've added a little color to the kitchen, but that's about it! Thanks for the chance to win, I can't wait to read it!
