The
author writes two series: Style & Error Mystery
series and Mad for Mod series
Samantha
Kidd and her gang are planning a heist. Now don’t
get me wrong – our style maven is really not going
off the criminal deep end. She is trying to win a contest.
Heist, a new store in town, is having an opening night
party. In conjunction with the opening, they are having
this contest which involves stealing certain objects.
Samantha and her crew manage to pull off this heist.
They
go to the party opening the next night and Samantha
ends up in an off-limits area trying to reach a handbag
that is on the highest shelf. A step ladder affords
her the reach but she spots a body wearing a large ring.
Looks like Samantha will not be able to find out about
the handbag since the buyer, Emily Hart, is permanently
out of commission.
The
owner of Heist, Tony Simms, offers Samantha the dead
woman’s job. He wants her to investigate the murder
as well as be a buyer. Will Samantha find the murderer
before she buys it?
Things
to ponder: Why kill the handbag buyer? Who stole Eddie’s
fake statue? How did it end up being the murder weapon?
This
was a fast page-turning read. I loved the characters
except for the fact that they made me stay up very late
to finish the book. So if you like your mystery with
some shopping on the side- then Buyer, Beware
is the book for you.
