This interior decorator is an expert in midcentury modern—and murder . . . “An extremely unique mystery series with an intelligent heroine” (Kings River Life Magazine).
When Madison Night accepts an assignment in Palm Springs with handyman Hudson James, she expects designing days and romantic nights. But the shock of spotting a body in the river near the job site—and the strain of recurring nightmares and a growing dependency on sleeping pills—has her seeking professional help to deal with her demons.
She learns more about the crime than she’d like, thanks to girl talk with friends, pillow talk with Hudson, and smack talk with the local bad boys. And after the victim is identified as the very doctor she’s been advised to see, she wonders if what she knows can help catch a killer . . .
