Summary: Designed to Die
Review: Dallas is... No, not the city...the mystery solvoing protaganist who lives in Dallas, Texas, in Chloe Green's novel, Designed to Die. This book is about as thought-provoking as naming a main character Dallas, that lives in Dallas. Dallas O'Connor, a stylist turned murder-solver does, however, have some good intuition. When she is on a boat headed to her new mysterious styling assignment she surmises: "Seattle was behind us, Canada to the right... Not that I could see it, but it was there." The dialogue is shallow and the characters are unrealistic. Forget suspense, thrill, and intrigue. Look for this novel that is "designged to die" in the humor section of your local book store.

Summary: Designed to Delight!
Review: In this humorously suspenseful follow-up to GOING OUT IN STYLE, Chloe Green takes her high-fashion amateur sleuth Dallas O'Connor to the next level ... at times, literally. The little voice in Dallas' head was telling her that the dream shoot in Washington state - at a whopping day rate - was too good to be true. Only after she arrives in Seattle and people begin to die does she realize that she should have listened to that voice. But Dallas O'Connor isn't the type to run from trouble - she faces it head-on. As Dallas races to unmask the murderer, you'll find yourself sprinting through the pages. You won't be able to put it down until the last satisfying turn of the page.

Summary: What A Fun Series!
Review: What a fun mystery series -- this is the 2nd book in the Dallas O'Connor fashion industry murder mystery series. By the way, you will learn all you ever wanted to know about the background of the fashion business, and it's wrapped up in a really cool mystery. (Pretty good for a chick-book! I like it 5-stars worth, and I'm manifestly not a chick.) Look for the author's other series, which starts with Reflections In The Nile, written under the name of Suzanne Frank. Buy them now.
