Designer Dirty Laundry

A Samantha Kidd Mystery, Volume 1

By: Diane Vallere

Narrated by: Melissa Strom

Worst. First. Day. Ever.

Former fashion buyer Samantha Kidd thought she had her future perfectly tailored—until she discovers her boss dead on the job. When evidence points the police in her direction, Samantha finds herself trading couture for chaos and designer labels for dirty laundry.

Determined to clear her name, Samantha digs into the cutthroat fashion world she thought she'd left behind. Surrounded by ambitious designers, hidden rivalries, and more than a few sharp elbows, this flatfoot in heels must unravel a deadly plot before she's framed for murder.

Smart, stylish, and laugh-out-loud funny, Designer Dirty Laundry is the first book in the long-running Killer Fashion Mysteries—perfect for those who love humorous cozy mysteries, small-town drama, and amateur sleuths with heart.

Wonderful Narration of a Wonderful Book!

This is a terrific cozy mystery from one of my favorite authors. The protagonist is so relatable & the story terrific. The narrator is exactly perfect! Highly recommend!

Love her books

Just a fun romp if you enjoy fashion and romance. All of DV’s books are fun but I especially enjoy Madison Knight books.

Great start to a new series

Great start to a new cozy mystery series! This is a fun cozy mystery set in the fashion industry. As expected of this author, the writing is top-notch, the plot is tight and multi-layered, and the characters are well drawn and believable. I’m looking forward to future books.

Makes you hungry...

I truly enjoyed this tale... except for one feature..... the description of everything she ate.... COME ON... a MEATBALL SUB should come with every copy!!!!!! I look forward to riding along on Kid's misadventures, though I am SERIOUSLY SORRY about her fashion sense. Having worked in the fashion scene in NY & CA, I get it... but I don't really GET IT. I was Edith Head in a Vegas world. Anyhow... look forward to the next installment, guess I will just have to set the diet aside for a few hours.

Enjoyable first listen

Designer Dirty Laundry (Style and Error Mystery Series, #1), my first read from author Diane Vallere. Well-written & enjoyable, another cute, clean cozy mystery, the first in this new series. I was been given an Audible copy of this book & am voluntarily reading & reviewing it. Melissa Strom’s talented narration adds to the book's enjoyment. I look forward to reading more in this series.
