About
What makes Madison Night stand out may be exactly what puts her in a killer’s sights.
Interior decorator Madison Night may look like a stylish throwback to the sixties, but as a business owner and landlord, she’s firmly rooted in the present—and determined to live life on her own terms. Inspired by Doris Day movies and vintage fashion, Madison’s signature style sets her apart in Dallas. Unfortunately, it also makes her unforgettable.
When a killer begins targeting women dressed in Madison’s distinctive look—estate-sale chic chosen to heighten her resemblance to her favorite screen icon—Madison realizes her carefully curated persona could be deadly. A local detective links the new crimes to a twenty-year-old cold case, and the investigation takes a personal turn when Madison’s long-trusted contractor emerges as the leading suspect.
As the body count rises, Madison digs deeper and uncovers a tangled web involving a Soviet spy, a shadowy campaign to erase Doris Day’s film legacy, and six minutes of film that could change her life forever.
Stylish, smart, and dangerously close to the truth, Madison must rely on her instincts to stay one step ahead of a killer who knows exactly who she is.
This is the first book in the Madison Night mystery series, featuring a stylish amateur sleuth, mid-century modern design, and crimes where personal loyalties blur the truth.
If you love smart heroines, retro flair, and traditional mysteries with real stakes, the Madison Night series is for you.
“A cozy little mystery that . . . soon draws the reader into Madison’s mid-century modern fantasy world of fashion, movies, friendship, loyalty, and violence” -New York Journal of Books.
“If you are looking for an unconventional mystery with a snarky, no-nonsense main character, this is it . . . Instead of clashing, humor and danger meld perfectly, and there is a cliffhanger that will make your jaw drop.” —RT Book Reviews
