Publisher Description
It wasn’t a life or death situation until someone found a body.
Maddie Swallows had always thought of her hometown as unremarkable, until space tourism set up shop nearby. Now, real estate developers have set their sights on the small town, determined to have a piece of the lucrative pie. Too bad the residents of Amor want nothing to do with the fancy hotels and high-priced restaurants, and they are ready to fight back.
Maddie is determined to keep her family out of the drama, but when one overzealous developer gets in over his head, he shows up on her doorstep asking for help. Reluctant, she agrees to meet with him the following day. Just to talk, mind you. No promises.
Unfortunately, it wasn’t soon enough.
When his body is discovered the next morning, Maddie finds herself in the middle of another murder investigation. And she isn’t completely convinced her neighbors are innocent.
Dead by Design is the fifth book in the Maddie Swallows mystery series. If you like small town drama, intriguing plots, and humorous whodunits, you’ll love this cozy mystery.

Dead By Design is an interesting mystery with the usual quirky cast of characters! Once again Maddie, Benji and her family are embroiled in solving Amir’s latest murder. This well plotted mystery.captured my attention and kept me reading far into the night. I highly recommend any book by Ms. Bellemore!
Dead by Design
Dead by Design is Book 5 of A Maddie Swallows Mystery series written by Kat Bellemore. This is a great mystery with wonderful characters and storyline. This is a standalone book but best is to read it from the beginning.

Enjoyable series
This series keeps getting better! Oh my gosh, there are many humorous interactions between Maddie, her mom, Flash, and Lilly that kept me laughing out loud and bring a lightness to the story. It was extremely enjoyable getting to know Benji in greater detail as he takes on the primary role of clearing his friend of murder charges which ends up having many more sub plots than expected. Of course Maddie and Benji’s relationship is growing and changing which adds another dimension of enjoyment to the story.
