While in her mother's garden, A.J. stumbles-literally-on the body of her mother's current beau. Now A.J. is going to have to find her balance and solve the murder without getting tied up in knots. 

Diana Killian is the pseudonym of D. L. Browne, who sings Scottish and Gaelic songs in harmony with her two sisters in paid performances while also holding down a steady job with the Los Angeles branch of an international security company. D. L. Browne has also written 'Murder in Pastel' under the name of Colin Dunne, and a romance under the name of Louise Harris. Under the name Diana Killian, Ms. Browne has written a novel titled 'The Art of Dying.' Her real introduction to the mystery world, however, comes with the publication of 'High Rhymes and Misdemeanors' - a delightful, easy and auspicious clue to the talent possessed by this new female author.
