The Toni Credella Mystery 1

After setting up residence in an apartment where a young woman was once brutally murdered, interior designer Toni Credella finds herself caught in the mystery of the woman's life and death.

Finding a cheap apartment in this city can be murder.

Dyslexic decorator, Toni Credella, accidentally shot her abusive cop husband. Broke and wracked with guilt, she needs new digs. When she finds a place in a great neighborhood that's a steal, she grabs it. Just one catch. A young woman had been murdered there only three months earlier.

Before Toni can unpack, she's caught up in the puzzle of her predecessor's life and death. Her lawyer friend, Randall, warns her to get out of that fatal apartment. But Toni has learned enough about its last victim to want retribution for her. Finding justice for victims of senseless brutality becomes a mission for Toni.

As she investigates the murder-with the help of an attractive police detective, Gus O'Dell, she discovers that no one is above suspicion. Toni realizes that if she can't identify the killer soon, she'll be the next to die.
