Murder by Design

Rick Domino is at the top of his world-which is Holly-wood-and his stock in trade is celebrity gossip. His finances, however, are the pits and can't begin to pay for his copious good taste. So when his producer suggests he be a guest on a popular cable show 'My House, Your House'-he deigns to appear as a way of getting a much needed makeover for his sagging, outdated living room. As plans go, this isn't Rick's best. And it goes terribly wrong when a consulting designer -well known for the particular remodeling horrors she's perpetrated on other guests' spaces-is found savagely mur-dered. Now, with the help of Terry Zane-a sweet but savagely unstylish police detective-Rick is on a quest to rescue his reputation, salvage his living room, and-if at all possible-find the person responsible for the tasteless act of murder.Bloch, Jon P. is the author of 'Murder by Design', published 2004 under ISBN 9780312313128 and ISBN 0312313128.
