When a corpse is discovered under a car at the local auto restoration garage, Sophie "Phee" Kimball gears up to investigate a crime that puts a whole new twist on the term "body shop" . . . The seniors of Sun City West are celebrating again, this time over the news that Wayne from the pinochle club finally has a chance to restore his classic car. Phee goes along for the ride, but her thoughts are on her agency's latest case-a priceless artifact that's missing from the local museum. It's an antique doll supposedly filled with treasure-but also carrying a curse for whoever possesses it. Then a dead body is found under Wayne's car, along with signs of foul play, and Phee is coaxed into helping get him off the hook. It's clear to Phee that the victim was killed by sabotaged machinery, but the garage attracts so much foot traffic that narrowing down a list of suspects will be nearly impossible. Harder still will be keeping her mother's gaggle of friends from meddling in the case, especially after they throw a wrench into the works by trying to locate the missing doll. Soon Phee and the whole group are careening toward a head-on collision with a thief, a killer, and a cursed doll, and she can only hope they don't drive her insane-or worse-make her the next victim . . . Praise for the Books of J. C. Eaton: "Fun characters, a touch of humor, and a great mystery, the perfect combination for a cozy." -Lena Gregory, author of the Bay Island Psychic Mysteries on Ditched 4 Murder "So cleverly written, you won't guess the perpetrators until the very end." -Mary Marks, award-winning author of the Quilting Mystery Series on Booked 4 Murder "A thoroughly entertaining series debut, with enjoyable yet realistic characters and enough plot twists-and dead ends-to appeal from beginning to end." -Booklist, starred review, on Booked 4 Murder "Enjoy this laugh-out-loud funny mystery that will make you scream for the authors to get busy on the next one." -Suspense Magazine on Molded 4 Murder
