Summary

She expected the fashion industry to be ruthless. She wasn't prepared for it to turn deadly.

Ready to redesign her life, style expert Samantha Kidd accepts a job in her Pennsylvania hometown as a trend specialist. But her first day goes completely A-line when she stumbles across her legendary boss dead in the elevator. And after the body disappears, she can't help but pull on the mystery's thread and unravel an entire wardrobe of suspects.

Supervising her deceased employer's vogue competition, Samantha tries to hem in a sexy shoe designer and countless ego-driven creatives to stitch together the clues. But when her own name appears on the police's suspect list, the sleuthing fashionista's days on the catwalk could be numbered.

Can Samantha put a killer in the spotlight before she's sewn up for a crime she didn't commit?

Designer Dirty Laundry is the first book in the feel-good Samantha Kidd mystery series. If you like witty protagonists, clever dialogue, and fashion-forward drama, then you'll love Diane Vallere's chic story.

A classy mystery

I enjoyed this book. I read the book when it first came and remember enjoying it then because it was so different to the normal cozy mystery, so I jumped at the chance to listen to it as well. Glad I did because even though I remembered some parts it was still a good listen. The mystery was good and it kept me guessing. I liked the characters and found the situations the main character seemed to get herself into highly amusing. I can't wait for the next book to become available.
Samantha has given up her high powered job in New York to return to her home town and a quieter life. The first day as a trend specialist doesn't go as planned and she stumbles over a dead body. The dead body of her new boss. As if that wasn't bad enough but nobody knows she is the newest employee and the only one who can confirm she does work there is dead and his body has gone missing. Nobody believes the famous fashion designer is dead, especially when he is in the process of organizing a competition to find the next top designer. Samantha has always been good at problem solving but can she solve this problem and with no job can she also keep a roof over her head at the same time? Things get a lot worse when the body does turn up because someone is going to great lengths to frame Samantha for the murder.
I liked the narrator and thought she brought a classy style to the characters in the book as she brought them to life.
