Product Details


Product Description

From Booklist

Protagonists of today's mystery series hold down jobs ranging from stripper to postal clerk to rock star--so why not dry cleaner? Luckily, Johnson realizes that the day-to-day details of Mandy Dyer's cleaning operation might not be so scintillating and uses the business mostly as a backdrop. In the seventh adventure in the series, Mandy uses a dry-cleaning tag to track down a woman whose coat was switched with that of Mandy's cousin Laura. Then the woman is found murdered, and Laura is struck by a hit-and-run driver, convincing Mandy that the coat switch has prompted the violence. Customers at the restaurant where Laura lost her coat provide plenty of colorful suspects. Although the mystery itself is not too difficult to solve, Johnson's ability to infuse comedy into the plot will keep readers chuckling. Good, clean fun. Jenny McLarin

Ce commentaire est de: Taking the Wrap (Hardcover)
Ms. Johnson has done it again, tickled my funny bone and made me spend my days smiling. She is a funny and refreshing writer who deserves the best of reviews on this latest book. Give it a read and enjoy.
