A Review
This first person mystery is one of the best titles that I have read from Henery Press - Diane Vallere had surpassed her first book, Pillow Stalk, as she continues to develop the characters that surround Madison Night and her mid-century design studio, “Mad for Mod”. Rocky, her Shih Tzu, so closely mimics our own, except in color, that I laugh every time he reappears in the story.
In this newest effort, Madison is being bombarded with $5000 bills - some probably real, others obviously fake. At the same time she is being bombarded with men who would like to get to know Madison better - policeman, handymen, and old boyfriends continue to haunt her life. And as these events transpire, enough clues come her way to send any good detective into a tailspin. The problem is that it is not the detectives that are going into a tailspin, but Ms. Night herself. And that creates enough problems that the reader will want to begin reading the book from beginning to end - forgetting about that thing called sleep.
The mystery behind the $5000 bills will be resolved, but not before multiple friends and foes find themselves being kidnapped, shot, and rescued in the most unlikely of ways. It was a joy to again travel through Dallas with Madison and her friends. I suspect that the same will be true of other readers as well.
