A Dress to Die For

When a woman is murdered after buying a valuable vintage design, her dry cleaner-turned-amateur sleuth is left to sort out the clues in this cozy mystery.

Mandy Dyer is feeling the heat—and not just because she’s the owner of Dyer’s Dry Cleaners. When she discovers that her dear friend Kate Bosworth has been strangled by a vintage scarf, Mandy has a real mess on her hands. Days earlier, Kate had brought an antique gown into Dyer’s for a cleaning. The dress was a 1920s Fortuny that Kate claimed was worth thousands, but she’d gotten for a steal—and it may have cost Kate her life.

No stranger to digging up dirt, Mandy begins searching flea markets and garage sales, trying to track down someone who might have a claim to the gown—someone who would kill to get it back. With the police on the trail too—and her new boyfriend Det. Stan Foster determined to keep her out of it—Mandy makes sure to leave no trace behind in a case that draws her closer and closer to some pretty dirty laundry—and a murderer’s rage.
