It has been a year since the death of Deva Dunne's husband, and she is working hard to control her grief and move forward.  She relocated to Florida from Boston and has recently opened Deva Dunne Interiors.  After entering the home of a wealthy client, Deva discovers that a very valuable painting has been stolen.  While reporting the theft to the police, she stumbles across a dead body.  Although she is quickly dropped from the suspect list, Deva, once again, is pulled into a very dangerous situation. Lt. Rossi, the investigating officer introduced in the first book in this series, Designed for Death, is back.  Deva and Rossi have good chemistry, and she finally acknowledges her feelings for him.  Much to Rossi's dismay, Deva feels compelled to investigate and ask questions about the murder and theft.The Monet Murders, the second in Jean Harrington's Murders by Design series, is a well-written and engaging story.  It has everything I look for in a book--strong characters, believable dialogue, mystery and suspense, and a touch of romance.  I'm looking forward to the next book in the series.
