Hadley Home Design Cozy Mysteries Book 1
by Emily Oberton
Interior designer Hadley Sutton has an eye for style, an ear for gossip, and a nose for trouble.
Darlington Hills, Virginia, is a little slice of southern heaven, and there's no place Hadley would rather be after a painful breakup with her locally famous boyfriend, whose face is plastered on every billboard in New Orleans. Seeking a fresh start, she escapes to the charming small town for a job interview, some much-needed family time with her favorite aunt, and a break from the harsh reality of her now-single, party-of-one status.
But Hadley's plans take a dramatic turn when she snags an impromptu interior design gig, only to find herself at the center of a mystery when her client's fiancée vanishes. Feeling responsible for the woman's disappearance, Hadley searches for answers while trying to stay focused on her ultimate goal of acing the interview and landing her dream job.
Turns out that isn't so easy, with distractions like the dimpled Officer Appley and the mounting danger that has befallen the idyllic small town. With secrets hiding behind every painted door, Hadley must piece together the clues before the shocking truth gets swept under the rug.
Lemon Yellow Lies is the first book in the Hadley Home Design Mystery Series. If you like sassy sleuths, enchanting small-town settings, twisty plots, and lighthearted whodunnits with a dash of sweet romance, you'll love this cozy mystery series.
