About this series
Hollis Brannigan, personal shopper at a prestigious Los Angeles concierge service, is assigned to Hollywood’s fading stars, aging insiders, and D-list clients, but has her sights set on a position in the company’s investigations department. To hone her investigative skills, she takes on discreet investigations for fellow employees—as long as upper management doesn’t find out what she’s up to.
Hollis becomes embroiled in a murder when she walks into one of L.A.s upscale consignment shops and discovers a young woman on the floor, draped in designer gowns. When Hollis rushes to give aid, another woman shows up and snaps her picture kneeling over the body. With her photo, her fingerprints, and her DNA at the crime scene, Hollis is now the prime suspect. To clear her name, she must find the killer.
While trying to keep her clients happy, keep her job, and prove her innocence, Hollis takes on a case investigating a cheating boyfriend whose mysterious midnight trips all over Southern California confound her. She finally gets a lead on her sister who vanished without a trace, but fears she’ll disappear again before Hollis can get to her.
Now shopping for a killer in L.A.’s most exclusive stores and luxury shops, Hollis discovers revenge, deceit, and ambition turned deadly. A cunning murderer lurks nearby plotting another crime—this time against Hollis.
She soon learns that pursuing a murderer and discovering the truth about her sister aren’t what she bargained for!

- Shop Til You Drop Dead (A Hollis Brannigan Mystery)
Hollis Brannigan, newly arrived in Los Angeles, left Kansas for the bright lights of Tinseltown—but working as a personal shopper for a prestigious concierge service isn’t a job she ever wanted. Life only gets worse when she’s assigned to D-list clients: Fading Hollywood stars, aging industry insiders, new clients with no name value, and most any nut case who stumbles into the office with money to pay their outrageous fee. But Hollis doesn’t intend to spend her days making other people’s dreams come true. She’s focused on getting a position in the investigations department. She gets a chance to prove herself by posing as an investigator for a missing dog case—but when she arrives at a stately Hancock Park mansion, she learns there’s no missing dog. Instead, she’s shown a secret room, a handgun, a vintage Louis Vuitton suitcase stuffed with cash, and is told she has to find a killer. Now shopping for a murderer among L.A.’s exclusive shops and luxury boutiques, Hollis discovers scandals, lies, broken dreams, and enough old secrets to fill a Black Friday shopping bag. But suspects and evidence are as rare as a Rodeo Drive discount outlet, and a cunning killer may be much closer than she thinks. Somehow, she must find the murderer before her shopping days—and maybe her life—are over!
