When Erin Delaney learns that a serial killer has used a murder in her book as part of his bookish killings she is understandably upset. The only plus is that it requires her to stay with her friend Kaley Quinn-Hunter. The negative is that it requires her to leave the safety of her wooded cabin behind.
What follows is a race to profile the killer before he can strike again. But when a killer uses murders from various novelists it is hard to create a profile for a killer that doesn't have an established MO. The only unique clues are poems left with each victim.
Dark Design had some definite twists that kept the killer's identity in the dark. There were a couple of possible suspects in my mind, but they did not bear fruit and were innocents. I appreciated Erin's thoughts as this book progressed, and she began thinking about the influence her writing had in the murder tied to her book. This book is in a way a message on how our actions can affect others in ways not foreseen.
I was provided a complimentary copy of this book with no expectations. All thoughts expressed are my own.

About the Book:
When Erin Delaney learns that a serial killer has mimicked the murder portrayed in her bestselling novel, her career as an author takes a detrimental turn. She joins her friend Kaely Quinn-Hunter, a former FBI profiler, to help identify a suspect, but the team is stumped, and Kaely fears for Erin’s safety as they work to dismantle a web of fear and chaos.
On top of tracking down a murderer, Erin must shoulder the weight of a haunted past and the claims that she stole the plot of her novel from one of her sources. But as the enemy looms closer than ever, Erin’s life hangs in the balance.
