Review: Dangerous to Know by Renee Patrick

Lillian Frost is back with Edith Head. This time, Marlene Dietrich asks her to find a composer that is missing. She does, only he is dead. Throw in a smuggling investigation with George Burns, Jack Benny and the FBI. Only there are also Nazis and spies. Another fun installment in the series. Agatha nominated. Lots of fun and twists and memorable characters. I love this series! and the CLOTHES!

Review: Design for Dying by Renee Patrick

Lillian works in a department store after coming to Hollywood and finding she

really had not talent for acting. A friend of hers is found murdered in clothes stolen from Paramount and Edith Head becomes involved in the investigation as well. Hollywood insanity, gangsters, great clothes, wealthy parties and stars like Bob Hope and Barbara Stanwyck makes appearances.

That - AND the mystery is quite good. Nice balance of Lillian working with the police and Edith. Interesting secrets and characters and most of all - I REALLY like Lillian and her attitude and sleuthing. Definitely deserved the Agatha nomination. It is a fun romp with Old Hollywood Glamour!
