Description
In this "sparkling" cozy mystery with "an oddball cast of characters," a dry cleaner-turned-amateur sleuth discovers someone is murdering her customers (Publishers Weekly). Mandy Dyer is happy to see her straitlaced customer Ardith Brewster suddenly bringing a fresh, fun new wardrobe into Mandy's Denver dry cleaners. When Ardith confides she's got a new man in her life--someone she met at Mandy's open house, no less--Mandy is delighted for her . . . until Ardith turns up dead. Mandy is sifting through her customers, trying to find someone who matches Ardith's mystery beau's well-heeled description, when suddenly another customer is killed. And just when Mandy is about to turn to her PI boyfriend Travis for help, she wonders if the stylish perp might be even closer to home than she realized . . . Praise for Dolores Johnson and the Mandy Dyer Mysteries "Delightful. Good, clean fun." --Dorothy Cannell, author of The Thin Woman "Dolores Johnson writes with wit and panache. I love her sense of humor." --Diane Mott Davidson, New York Times-bestselling author of the Goldy Bear Culinary Mysteries
