Death By Design: A Josiah Reynolds Mystery 9
By Abigail Keam
READERS’ FAVORITE – “With an assortment of eccentric and sophisticated characters, Death By Design is a witty, humorous, and charming mystery. It is the kind of mystery that pairs well with a glass of iced tea, one that’s hard to put down until the end. A MUST READ!”
In the tradition of regional female sleuths like Agatha Christie’s Miss Marple, comes Josiah Reynolds, who lives in the beautiful Bluegrass of Kentucky. Josiah and her quirky band of friends solve murder mysteries where Thoroughbreds, antebellum mansions, and oak-cured bourbon abound. Josiah Reynolds can hardly believe she hears someone call out her name as she strolls down 75th Street in New York City.
With the promise of a free drink, Bunny Witt steers Josiah into nearby Bemelmans Bar where she proceeds to unfold a tale about being stalked by a mysterious stranger. It seems that Bunny’s apartments in London and New York have been broken into and searched, yet nothing was taken. She is desperate for someone to find out who is tormenting her and why before she heads home to Lexington, Kentucky. She has decided that someone should be our Josiah!
This chance encounter leads Josiah into the world of haute couture, mysterious princes from India, precious gems, and murder in a Southern town that keeps its secrets well!
