One death after another—will there be any customers left for Kate's decorating business?

A Kate Bart Mystery

British-born Kate Bart, the interior decorator in this New Jersey town, helps her friend, Dutch, with his P.I. investigations. He's decided that he'd like to be more than just a pal, so things get hot when they're working together. She's been a widow for some time now, but although she's attracted to him, she still needs time to learn how to love again.

The arrival of the new sexy undertaker causes a ripple in the traditional-minded townspeople. She slinks around meeting Tom Yoast, the general store owner. What's she after? He's certainly no trophy husband-to-be.

"You'll have ta deal with two dead people very soon," Carmella, an elderly Italian psychic, warns Kate. Just what she wanted, something more to scare her as she and Dutch search for clues to solve the mysterious deaths. They follow leads, some to dead ends, but in the end the perpetrators are brought to justice.
