Produktbeschreibung

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. 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
