"Susan Cox writes with deft assurance. An appealing cast of characters and an absorbing plot kept me turning the pages." - Margaret Maron "A quirky, aromatic concoction of mystery, suspense, and humor. Theophania Bogart is a welcome addition to the cozy genre.Add a dash of romance, a dollop of humor, a gift for English understatement, and [the book] makes for a heavenly scented, fabulous read!" - Juliet Blackwell "Intriguing characters. Snappy writing. A San Francisco setting to die for. Reading [the book] is like having a spa day with the wittiest woman in town." - Susan Dunlap "Perfect for anyone who loves a mystery with a twist of wry, and engaging, witty sleuth with a dark secret, and unusual setting, and, yes, indeed, a man on the washing machine! I hope this exceptional debut is the first of many clever, murderous outings for the terrific Theo Bogart." - Gillian Roberts "When former party girl and society photographer Theophania Bogart flees to San Francisco to escape a high-profile family tragedy, a series of murders drags her unwillingly out of hiding. In no time at all she discovers she's been providing cover for a sophisticated smuggling operation, she starts to fall for an untrustworthy stranger, and she's knocked out, tied up, and imprisoned. The police are sure she's lying. The smugglers are sure she knows too much. Her friends? They aren't sure what to believe. The body count is rising, and Theo struggles to find the killer before she's the next victim or her new life is exposed as an elaborate fraud. But the more deeply entangled she becomes, the more her investigation is complicated by her best friend, who is one of her prime suspects; her young protege, who may or may not have a juvie record; her stern and unyielding granddfather, who exposes and unexpected soft center; and the man on her washing machine, who isn't quite what he appears, either. Susan Cox's Minotaur Books/Mystery Writers of America First Crime Novel Award-winning novel is a charming debut with wacky, colorful characters and a delightfully twisted mystery." - from the inner front jacket cover.
