Description
A dry cleaner-turned-amateur sleuth finds herself in the crosshairs of a killer in this "fast-paced" cozy with a "smashing climax" (Publishers Weekly). Mandy Dyer is more than ready to give up her second career as an amateur sleuth. After all, she has an in-demand dry cleaners to run! But when her cousin Laura comes in and asks for Mandy's help locating a coat she lost in a restaurant, Mandy can't say no. Besides, it seems like a fairly harmless investigation--until a hit-and-run driver nearly takes Laura out. And when Mandy heads to Laura's apartment to cheer her up while she heals from a broken leg, Mandy is suddenly attacked by an unknown assailant. Pressed into detective work once more, Mandy hopes that this time, she isn't hung out to dry. 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
