Taken to the Cleaners: Volume 1

Dolores Johnson

In this cozy mystery, the new proprietor of a dry cleaners takes on a load of trouble when a bag of bloody clothes sends her on the trail of a killer.

When Mandy Dyer inherits her uncle's dry cleaners, she knows she'll be dealing in some pretty grimy business. But when a homeless woman brings in a bloody suit, suddenly Mandy has a foul mess on her hands. Did the suit belong to a murderer--or his victim? Now Mandy is sharing clues with a hunky homicide detective--and trying to discover a little dirt on the killer herself. With one man dead and a potential witness missing, returning this suit to its rightful owner isn't going to be easy--until Mandy figures out how to make the killer come clean.
