I enjoyed the Flashing Fashion Queen & would like to read more like it. The mystery was involved enough that even after I guessed who did it, I kept second guessing myself until the end. I enjoyed having a lead character that was closer to my own age with more realistic trials that she has overcome and things that she struggles with daily.I liked that even though the book did have some serious points it maintained it's fun & quirky voice throughout.The secondary characters were all fun & well developed, I especially liked Mrs. Presley. I enjoyed the atmosphere & back stories that were developed for everyone.**SPOILER**I get the whole cougar thing. Really I do. Forty and Flirty. Fifty & Nifty. Grey hair is sexy. I got it. However in this book the lead character was developed as a forty-something that really wasn't interested in sex. She enjoyed watching her assistant & that was a big part of her character, the semi-guilty glances and naughty fantasies, but getting a chance to follow through with the naughty assistant flies in the face of the character's established background & personality. Some may disagree mightily with me, but this book, this whole series would have been far better off if Dix kept her pants on, especially when it comes to the assistant.
