    About this audiobook

    After a falling out with a friend flips interior decorator Madison Night's world inside out, she's determined to revamp her life. Jane Strong, fellow mid-century modern enthusiast, encouraged Madison's entry in an upcoming design competition, but their rift makes collaboration no longer an option.

    When Jane is found dead, Madison tops the suspect list. And when anonymous computer hackings interfere with both the investigation and the competition, Jane's murder no longer seems random. With a mess of a love life, an angry client, and a looming deadline on her contest entry, Madison turns to an unlikely ally to decode a motive before a crash becomes imminent.

      A Madison Night Mystery series is a fun, cozy series that I am very much enjoying. I have not read the whole series but will go back and catch up. You do not need to read them all to enjoy this book as much as I did. There is enough of Madison’s history included in the story to get to know this lover of mid-century modern design to go with her vintage clothing.

      In this outing, Madison Night has teamed up with Jane Strong for the Very Important Projects competition sponsored by the Design in Dallas Initiative. On the final day for entries to be submitted, Madison is shocked when she receives an email from Jane canceling their partnership. Madison rushes to the Republic Tower where DIDI has their offices to talk to Jane, but Jane has already submitted her proposal. Madison has five hours to come up with a new submission. She is able to cobble together her entry and after turning it in, she heads off the ladies' restroom. What she does not expect to find is Jane sick in the washroom. While Madison rushes off to get help for Jane, she dies from blunt force trauma. Of course, Jane is at the top of the list when it comes to suspects. Throw in some major computer hacking, a virus running wild all over town and Madison having to turn to her frenemy, Donna Nast for help, and you have a fast paced story.

      Lover Come Hack is an entertaining cozy mystery. Madison is a smart, independent woman who usually knows what she wants and can think on her feet in a crisis. I love a protagonist who isn't pushy, invasive, nor idiotic enough to do stupid things that put her in danger. With the computer issues, Donna Nast is an integral character in this story and I actually liked her quite a bit more than in other books. As far as the mystery goes, it was complex with many twists and red herrings. Madison juggles sleuthing, trying to figure out who killed Jane, and working on her design entry. Madison has a unique voice and it comes through in this series. We experience life through Madison’s eyes and some of her comments are amusing. This is where the humour comes in with this series. I recommend this series to anyone who enjoys a cozy with a unique setting and backdrop. If you can, start at the beginning, but if not, I jumped in part way and am very much enjoying this series. The publisher, Henery Press, generously provided me with a copy of this book to read. The rating, ideas and opinions shared are my own.

      Lover Come Hack was another excellent adventure in Vallere's Madison Night mystery series. Madison has one of the worst days of her life when her partner in a local contest drops her right before the deadline, she needs to scramble to do an entry on her own, she then finds her friend dead, and then she becomes a murder suspect. With the police focusing on Madison, she finds herself needing to solve this one on her own. To make things even more complicated, the two men in Madison's life want her decision about which one she wants in her life. Vallere does a really great job with the character development of Madison as the character decides not just to change things up at work by taking things in a new direction but also in her personal life as well. Madison decides to focus on herself and what she needs showing the growth of the character and her new take charge lease on her life. I also really loved seeing all the great secondary characters back as all of Madison's friends come to her aid when she really needs them. Lover Come Hack has a lot of twists and turns, and I love how Vallere adds some humor to the story. Overall Lover Come Hack was a great read that I would most definitely recommend. I look forward to reading Madison's next adventure.Received a copy of Lover Come Hack in exchange for my honest review.

      Diane Vallere's Doris Day-inspired Madison Night cozy series keeps going strong with this sixth entry, Lover Come Hack. Vallere provides good insights into the emotions and thought processes of her fifty-year-old main character, and I had to laugh at the result of Madison telling the other two sides of her romantic triangle to leave her alone for six months: It's been "the most productive six months of my life." Once again, the author provides an intriguing mystery laced with computer viruses and excellent misdirection. One thing that I was very happy to discover (and others may not) was the fact that there was a bit more emphasis on interior design in this book. After all, it is one of the reasons why I like this series so much. Another reason to enjoy Lover Come Hack is that it seriously channels Doris Day, even more than previous series books. Vallere has probably caused an upsurge in readers viewing this remarkable actress/singer's movies-- by both the curious and by those who do remember her.While Madison is the main draw in this series, I have to say that I am enjoying the evolution of another character-- another strong, independent businesswoman-- everyone calls "Nasty," and it is this evolution that really makes me look forward to the next book. Bring it on!

      Madison Night is an interior decorator who owns Mad for Mod in Dallas, Texas. She's getting ready to enter the VIP (Very Important Projects) competition for DIDI along with her friend Jane Strong. But the morning they're due to submit their proposal, she receives a devastating email from Jane that tells her she's not as good as she thinks she is, and that the collaboration is off. She tries to talk to Jane, but she won't speak with her.So Madison races against time to submit a new proposal on her own - which means she'll have to spend several hours putting something together, and then find a building on her own (Jane owns the one they were going to use) to renovate. In a hurry, she asks the security guard to sign her out of the building while she rushes to meet the deadline. Later that day in the same building she uses the restroom and finds Jane in another stall, obviously sick. Eventually finding help, it appears that it is too late for Jane and she passed away before the paramedics arrive.Stunned, Madison returns home wondering how this could have happened. But she hasn't got time to think about it, she needs to continue on with her project; yet when she tries to use her computer she discovers she's been hacked and when her assistant Effie can't fix the problem she calls the only person she knows who can - Donna Nast, a sort-of nemesis who used to date police captain Tex Allen.Which brings us to the fact that Madison is soon turning 50, and torn between the two men in her life - contractor Hudson James and Tex. She's asked both of them for six months of a man-free love life so that she can make up her mind which one she's interested in, and they've (reluctantly) agreed.But soon it also becomes apparent that unexplained events take place, and it puts Madison front and center in the Main Suspect arena, and the lead detective on the case is singling her out for murder. Can Madison find a building? Will she make a decision between Hudson and Tex? Is Donna helping her or hindering her? And can Madison outwit a killer before she's either wrongfully convicted? Or will she wind up just like Jane, out of the competition...and life itself?I absolutely loved this book. So much so I read it in one sitting. Madison is a smart, independent woman who knows what she wants (except maybe when it comes to her love life) and can think on her feet in a crisis. I love a protagonist who isn't pushy, invasive, nor idiotic enough to do stupid things. Madison is a wonderful character.While she's trying to figure out how to win the contest, she's bothered by Jane's death and soon becomes suspicious when she finds out not only her computer was hacked, but nearly everyone connected with the VIP contest. Stranger still, the police department computers were hacked, and they're not even in the contest. Watching Madison try and figure out what is happening and why is intriguing, and it makes for quite a fascinating tale. (It helps that my husband is a computer specialist so I could follow the story quite easily).The plot is well-written, the story delightful. the author's descriptions of place are charming; and her characterizations of the people involved are believable and vibrant. She has given us a narrative that is both complicated and full of suspense; it was indeed a pleasure to read. When the killer is found out, it gives a sense of satisfaction; we can see the 'wheels turning' in Madison's head as she is putting everything together, and once again, this is not a woman that one should ever underestimate.The motive for the murders was convincing; the ending amusing; and I can't think of a better way to have spent my evening than in reading this book. It was worth every minute and I look forward to the next in the series. Highly recommended.
