    About this series

    Amateur Sleuth Samantha Kidd is in over her head.

    With no job prospects on the horizon, former fashion buyer Samantha Kidd convinces boyfriend and shoe designer Nick Taylor to give her a job. But when close friend Eddie asks for help with an exhibit of vintage Hollywood costumes, she splits her time between romance and comedy--until a dead man claims all of her attention.

    Brimming with good intentions, she leave the investigation to the cops, but the killer keeps Eddie in the crosshairs. If Samantha can tear the lid off the investigation, it might mean a feather in her fedora. And if she can't? Her best friend might get capped.

    The Brim Reaper is the third fashionable book in the delightful Samantha Kidd mystery series. If you like zany capers, feisty characters, and funny crime fiction, you’ll love Diane Vallere’s humorous mystery.
