I was excited to pick back up with Samantha Kidd after Designer Dirty Laundry and Buyer, Beware did not disappoint! Vallere once again brings her knowledgeable fashion skills to the forefront, along with comedy, mystery, and a saucy romance. Samantha takes over the position of buyer handbag for a new retailer in the area – but only after the previous buyer is murdered. Samantha assigns herself the case of solving the whodunit – but are her accessories enough to keep her safe from the killer?
I know sequels aren’t supposed to be as good or better than the first, but I think I liked this even more! I enjoyed jumping right into Samantha’s life and already having a beat on the characters. It was interesting to watch her romance play out, because I did not have a clue what was going to happen. I also had a few suspects in mind for the murderer, and it wasn’t until the end that I started clicking the pieces together- something I enjoy in mysteries. Who likes to know the identity right off the bat? I hope there is more from this series!
