Taking the Wrap

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.
