Design on a Crime (Deadly Decor Mystery #1) by Ginny Aiken

Haley is starting a new design business. To say she is a little nervous is an understatement. Marge has been in her corner encouraging her from the start. Haley has been through alot in the last several years. A personal tragedy has clouded her entire outlook, especially affecting her faith in God. Then her mother passed away, and now this leap into a new career.

Haley has a big rooting section led by Marge. So when Marge turns up dead at the auction where Haley is meeting with her first potential client, Haley is stunned beyond belief. Haley not only found the body, but she also finds out that she is the sole heir in Marge's will. Haley is over wrought with grief and now she has to figure out who killed Marge.

I loved Haley and could relate to her anger at God and the struggle with the faith that used to come so easy for her. I like that there was a good mix of her faith struggle and the mystery. Sometimes a Christian mystery can be more Christian than mystery which can turn me off the story. I didn't feel that way with this story.

Thee are two more in this series and I hope to get to read them soon. Also want to check out some of her other books.

A good start to a mystery series!
