My review: WITH VICS YOU GET EGGROLL by Diane Vallere (A Mad for Mod Mystery #3)
4 STARS
For a decorator Madison Night sure gets involved with a bunch of murders. This is a charming murder mystery with a Doris Day influence. I did not even pick up on the name until I went looking for information about the book. With six you get eggrolls. So I am sure I missed a whole bunch of references.
Madison Night is a decorator who specializes in the 60's. She is a big Doris Day fan. She is single. Her dog is named Rocky. She does not want to let people into her life. She realizes that she already has.
Someone in the Dallas area is kidnapping women. So the women are scared. When the first body shows up a clue is found that leads the police to their own Lt. Tex Allen. Madison has flirted with him and she believes in him.
Madison has also liked her handyman Hudson. He has been gone for a few months.
Madison keeps showing up where the missing women are found or taken. Someone is framing Allen. Madison is determined to help him.
This is a clean read. Has some humor, lots of information about the 60's fashion and decorating ideas.
I was given this ebook to read by Net Galley and Henery Press. In return I agreed to give honest review of With Vics you Get Eggroll
