Grace Topping signed a three-book contract with Henery Press for her Laura Bishop Mystery Series. The first in the series, Chute to Kill will be released April 30, 2019. Back Cover Copy: Laura Bishop just obtained her first decorating commission—staging for sale a 19th century mansion that hasn’t been updated for decades. When a body falls from a laundry chute and lands at her feet, flowered wallpaper becomes the least of her worries. To clear her young assistant of the murder and save her fledgling business, she must find the killer. Not an easy task since Laura’s prejudice against handsome men has complicated her dealings with both the police detective assigned to the case and the real estate agent trying to save the mansion from foreclosure. Worse, the meddling of a horoscope-guided friend, a determined grandmother, and the local funeral director could get them all killed.
