Jean Harrington

Jean Harrington lives in Florida with her huband, Big John--no cats, no dogs, no children any more. After 17 years of teaching English lit and writing at Becker College in Worcester, Mass, Jean now spends her days (and nights)writing tongue-in-cheek mystery novels for Carina Press the electronic division of Harlequin Publishing.

In Jean's Murders by Design Mystery Series, an interior designer and amateur sleuth, Deva Dunne, is a crime-fighting redhead who can see the devil in the details. She's also aware each time a devil has designs on her. As she likes to say, "A woman always knows."

The first in the series, Designed for Death, was released in January 2012; the second, The Monet Murders, was released in June, and a third, Killer Kitchens, is due out in early 2013.
