Dix Dodd is a PI, out on her own after spending too many years working for "the boys." When she's offered a large cash sum to follow a wealthy woman's husband around, she's eager to take the job. Before long, though, that woman is murdered and Dix finds herself framed for the crime. Not only is she being framed, but the detective on the case is none other than Detective Head - a man who she's busted for cheating on his wife before, and who has a huge grudge against her.The story is humorous and I found myself laughing out loud at times. I love the way she was framed, but I was not too impressed by the way she solved the mystery at the end. That single "answer" she was looking for seemed a bit weak to me. Things didn't seem to fall together perfectly in my mind. It almost seemed as though the writer had an idea in her head but didn't completely convey it on paper. I also would have loved to see the underlying romance bud a bit more by the end, but who knows - maybe there's another story for that.The Case of the Flashing Fashion Queen was a good read, especially for someone who isn't really a huge mystery fan - like me. If you're a hard-core mystery buff, though, this one may seem a bit juvenile.
