Description
While escorting Bryn Derwyn Academy’s most infamous student downtown to be scared straight by a federal judge, amateur sleuth Ginger Barnes is shocked to find her childhood babysitter, textile Professor Charlie Finnemeyer, on trial for fraudulently aging an Oriental rug. Even more alarming, two witnesses against him died suspiciously convenient “natural” deaths.
Eager to help Charlie’s attorney any way she can, Gin pries a tightly held secret from a university president and exposes murder motives for a popular TV craft show host, and two antique dealers. Charlie’s overprotective wife also has a talent for showing up at the wrong place at the worst possible time.
Still, the evidence implicating Charlie can’t be swept under a rug. Before Gin can persuade anyone else he’s innocent, she must first convince herself.

“Murray always weaves an intriguing tale while also expanding our knowledge—in this case—of the art of textiles and antique fraud. I enjoyed LIE LIKE A RUG immensely.” Robin Hathaway, Agatha-winning author

Angelia S, Reviewer
This book is a delight. Not only is it about antique textiles (something I adore), but Ms. Murray's descriptions of characters and locales really bring the book to life. The main character is likable and smart, and the mystery is entertaining. An added bonus is that I actually learned something about antique textiles. Solid research, entertaining characters and an involving mystery. I can't wait to read the rest of the series if they're all this good!
I received a free e-copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for a fair and honest review.
