Did Someone Order a Dead Body?
The Corpse Wore a Sombrero – A Sharp Dressed Corpse Cozy Mystery
Kat and Grand are back with a frozen body in their living room and the Russians on their tail. With the body is an invitation from the Italian mob they’re sure they can’t refuse and a chance to get their lives back.
The Italian mobster’s sure there’s a rat in his family. His family’s sure the Mexican cartel is to blame. Kat’s sure the only way she’s ever going to see her stylist again is to save her own family by catching a killer – hopefully before he catches her.

But things get dicey when Bev’s “short-term” boss at Hartman’s Perfect Pawn clocks out permanently, leaving her the keys to his kingdom. Now, amidst hidden lockets, town gossip, and more quirks than a pawnshop knick-knack shelf, our duo must suss out if they’ve hit the jackpot or if they’re just pawns in someone’s deadly game.
