Produktbeschreibung
When Joanna Hayworth visits Bradley Stroden, a onetime protégé of legendary costume designer Edith Head, she expects to find closets bulging with drool-worthy gowns to stock her Portland, Oregon, vintage clothing store. Instead, she finds a corpse. With movie costumes as bait, Joanna investigates why Stroden was murdered. Could it be tied to the tell-all Hollywood memoir he was writing? Or to a midcentury film noir that was mysteriously yanked before it was released? Or to his "adoring" sister? At the same time, Joanna stumbles upon a priceless pair of emerald earrings hidden on her laundry shelf. Her houseguest has some explaining to do. Joanna's new marriage-and, possibly, her life itself-depend on figuring out who is acting and who is for real.
Autorenporträt
Angela M. Sanders worked for more than a decade as a congressional investigator before turning author. Her lack of success finding bathtub reading that was indulgent yet smart led her to write the Joanna Hayworth Vintage Clothing mysteries-sample title, Dior or Die-and The Booster Club capers, which center around a retirement home for petty criminals. Under the pen name Clover Tate, she writes a series of kite shop mysteries, the third of which, Wuthering Kites, launches September 2018. Angela's articles on food, personalities, and perfume have appeared in a variety of magazines, and she's a columnist for the popular fragrance blog, Now Smell This. When Angela isn't at her laptop, she's rummaging in thrift shops, lounging with a vintage detective novel, or pontificating about how to make the perfect martini. www.angelamsanders.com.
