This is a funny, laugh out loud, FUN read that just plain makes you not want to put the book down. Without giving away anything (no spoilers), Samantha takes a job, finds a body, body disappears and the story goes on. As a cozy mystery requirement (for me anyway), it keeps you guessing, and I actually didn’t figure it out before Samantha did. …

Fashion Fatality
I sort of felt as if I were listening to Lucille Ball madcap her way through the story. Our heroine, Samantha Kidd, did eventually figure everything out with her scattered approach, but not until the body count had mounted. Of course that wouldn’t be her fault because she wasn’t even involved until after the fact, but once …

She never despairs or falters – only literally collapses!
