INTRODUCING BUZZ AND ALLY LEVIN, THE SEXIEST COMEDY-MYSTERY DUE SINCE NICK AND NORA CHARLES.
Buzz is a Yuppie Boston lawyer, whose wit is as sharp as his Mont Blanc pen. Ally is his career-savvy interior-designer wife––intelligent, gorgeous, and quick as a whip. Their worlds collide only once a year when the Boston Designers’ Annual Show House competition descends upon them, and Buzz will do all he can to stay out of Ally’s way until the barrage of chintz and silk has subsided.
This year, though, the couple is brought even closer together when the Show House is opened for the designers’ preview and two most unpleasant surprises are uncovered: one decorator is discovered murdered and another found comatose from a violent attack.
When a seemingly innocent suspect is charged with the crimes, Buzz takes on his defense and, with Ally’s help, must solve the mystery to save his client. In the process, he encounters fabric scandals, love triangles, and power struggles of the decorative kind…not to mention a colorful cast of characters and the occasional design tip that will have you reeling with laughter––and reupholstering, too!
In this delightfully wicked whodunit, Franklin H. Levy takes us on a whirlwind behind-the-scenes voyage of the interior decorating world where the stakes are high, deception reigns and the designs are literally “to die for.”
