About this listen

Worst. First. Day. Ever.

Former fashion buyer Samantha Kidd thought she had her future perfectly tailored—until she discovers her boss dead on the job. When evidence points the police in her direction, Samantha finds herself trading couture for chaos and designer labels for dirty laundry.

Determined to clear her name, Samantha digs into the cutthroat fashion world she thought she'd left behind. Surrounded by ambitious designers, hidden rivalries, and more than a few sharp elbows, this flatfoot in heels must unravel a deadly plot before she's framed for murder.

Smart, stylish, and laugh-out-loud funny, Designer Dirty Laundry is the first book in the long-running Killer Fashion Mysteries—perfect for those who love humorous cozy mysteries, small-town drama, and amateur sleuths with heart.

Start the series audiences call "impossible to put down."

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.
I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
