Seville, Indiana, has five traffic lights and one interior design firm: Designer Jeans, co-founded by Jean Hastings and her daughter, Jean Jr.ย Lately theyโre finding that the keen eyes needed for plotting color schemes and tracking down flea market treasures also come in handy for interpreting more sinister designs.
ย
Jean is finally getting the recognition she deserves for being a designing woman, and now sheโs been recruited by Sevilleโs newly-formed Fast Flippersโa group dedicated to flipping houses.ย Their first project is to re-vamp a tired, Victorian mansion and Jean, with the help of family and friends, is determined to restore the painted lady to her former glory in time for the upcoming open house.ย The crowning design touch is to add a throw pillow embroidered with โRest in Peaceโ to the newly constructed window seat.
ย
But when the pillow goes missing, a search begins and turns up not only the pillowโbut also a dead Flipper! Now Sundayโs open house is overshadowed by Saturday nightโs crime sceneโand Jean wonโt rest until theyโve searched every nook and cranny for someone with designs on murder.
