A Classy 1950s Mystery
"She'd won a small battle on many fronts tonight. But a larger war still brewed."
Audrey Penault sort of understood why she might be misunderstood, but there wasn't time to dissect every employee's opinion of her at the moment, the very future of Wynton's Department Store depended on her ability to sniff out what was amiss, while at the same time developing a plan to set matters right. Poor Mr. Wynton was being duped and Audrey had a pretty good idea of who was to blame. The trouble was, she had to find allies . . . and fast . . . along with solid proof!
Enter Mary Jo Johnson (brand new employee, mother, already struggling to juggle home and work), Vivian Sheffield (the very classy bridal salon owner), and Gigi Woodard (a waitress at the store's cafeteria, works hard, wants to advance). Not exactly an army, but it was going to have to do. People were dropping like flies (dead flies to be exact), and who would be next?
What a charming setting! Especially for those who may have experienced the thrill of shopping multiple floors of an elegant department store, the story will bring back memories, and perhaps trigger a bit of nostalgia for the "good old days" when women cared more about fashion and fragrances. Besides being a bit of a slow starter, the characters took more time to develop than the plot suggests, but overall? This "whodunit" was a whole lot of fun to read!

Mid-Century Glam Meets Murder Mayhem
Get swept away to the glamor of a 1950’s department store where four women’s loyalties, vanity, friendship, and detective skills are put to the test.
Audrey Penault once led a glamorous life as a model but now works as devoted secretary to Mr. Wynton. To her fellow employees, she is too vain and uppity.
Mary Jo Johnson, a wife and mother, longs to find her worth in the cosmetics department, but it may take a while for the shy housewife to discover her voice.
Vivian Sheffield owns and runs the bridal salon within Wynton’s. She is proud of her accomplishments and won’t let anyone take them away.
Gigi Woodard dislikes her job as waitress in the store’s lunchroom, but she is determined not to let her secret shortcomings cause her to lose the position.
These four women have much to dislike about each other, but they unanimously agree that Mr. Wynton is the best of employers and must be protected at all costs from someone who seems determined to see him gone for good. When other employee deaths occur, can the women band together to solve the murders, or will they discover it is one of their own bent on destroying Wynton’s from within?
