Title: Fashion Lie Murder
Author: SibelHodge
Review:
Amber Fox can’t seem to find a break after all- it all started when she shot Chief Inspector Janice Skipped and got throw off
the police force. Next she accepts a job offer from her ex fiancé Brad Beckett
as insurance investigator and last but not least Umberto Fandango famous
fashion designer goes missing, a mysterious psychic and Brad insurance company
will be out millions unless Amber can solve the mystery.
This book is silly, light hearted and ridiculous but a
fun read with it over the top characters who make you laugh. The book has a lot
of great components to create a fun light hearted mystery. Romance, mystery,
over the top missing fashion designer, a psychic daughter who enjoyed messing
with witch craft, a boyfriend and ex fiancé who will do almost anything to get
Amber to make a commitment. The mobster/goons were extremely cartoonish in
their behavior but it made for laugh out loud moments.
The Amber Fox mysteries are fun slapstick reads that
for the most part stand-alone but I suggest starting with the first.
Quick fun beach read for those collecting books for
the summer.
Found the first book free on kindle.
Thanks go to Heidi for this review.

Synopsis: (Formerly
published as The Fashion Police)
From award winning
author, Sibel Hodge, comes a screwball comedy-mystery, combining murder and
mayhem with romance and chick-lit...
Amber Fox has been
making too many mistakes lately and something's got to give...
For starters, Amber
accidentally shoots Chief Inspector Janice Skipper and gets thrown off the
police force. The only one who knows the truth about the incident is Amber, but
no one will believe her.
After accepting a job as
an insurance investigator from her ex-fiancé, Brad Beckett, it turns out that
Brad thinks they've still got unfinished business and the job description
includes sexual favours that come with a price.
When fashion designer,
Umberto Fandango, goes missing, Amber becomes embroiled in a complicated case.
But Amber's arch-enemy, Chief Inspector Skipper, is also investigating his
disappearance, and it's a race against time for Amber to solve the mystery
before Skipper does and get her old job back. And just when Amber thinks things
can't get any worse, she's being stalked by some crazy mobsters.
Who is Umberto Fandango?
Is he dead? And can Amber stay one step ahead and stay alive?
