{"product_id":"pillow-stalk-9781941962053","title":"Pillow Stalk","description":"HUMOR AND DANGER MELD PERFECTLY... \"A multifaceted story...plenty of surprises...And what an ending \" - New York Journal of Books Interior Decorator Madison Night has modeled her life after a character in a Doris Day movie, but when a killer targets women dressed like the bubbly actress, Madison's signature sixties style places her in the middle of a homicide investigation. The local detective connects the new crimes to a twenty-year old cold case, and Madison's long-trusted contractor emerges as the leading suspect. As the body count piles up like a stack of plush pillows, Madison uncovers a Soviet spy, a campaign to destroy all Doris Day movies, and six minutes of film that will change her life forever. Praise for PILLOW STALK: \"Make room for Vallere's tremendously fun homage. Imbuing her story with plenty of mid-century modern decorating and fashion tips, not to mention a steady patter of Doris Day trivia, Vallere debuts a well-paced cozy series. Her disarmingly honest lead and two hunky sidekicks will appeal to all fashionistas and antiques types and have romance crossover appeal.\" - Library Journal \"If you are looking for an unconventional mystery with a snarky, no-nonsense main character, this is it. Madison is a strong leading lady who lands in lots of quirky situations. Instead of clashing, humor and danger meld perfectly, and there's a cliffhanger that will make your jaw drop. You'll look forward to the second Mad for Mod mystery.\" - RT Book Reviews \"A charming modern tribute to Doris Day movies and the retro era of the 50s, including murders, escalating danger, romance... and a puppy \" - Linda O. Johnston, Author of the Pet Rescue Mysteries \"Pillow Stalk is an intricately plotted and well-written book, I really enjoyed the story. I can't imagine decorating a house in the style from Doris Day's movies but it makes fine reading.\" - Leanne Davis, Fresh Fiction \"It was fast and furious, had a lot of info, characters, suspects, and even a few tangled romances. I love mysteries where I can't figure out who the real killer is until the end, and this was one of those. The novel was well written, moved at a smooth pace, and Madison's character was a riot.\" - ChickLit Plus \"This was a delightful read for me. I particularly enjoy and like Doris Day and was so surprised that Pillow Talk was mentioned in the book along with Doris Day. It's nice having a cute, cozy mystery to read, I look forward to more in the series \" - Lynn Demsky, bookreporter.com \"If you love the Technicolor movies of Doris Day and Rock Hudson and watch Mad Men for fashion tips, author Diane Vallere has written a mystery that will appeal to the mid-century modern heart.\" - Joanne Hamilton-Selway, ReaderToReader.com Books in the Mad for Mod Humorous Mystery Series: MIDNIGHT INK (prequel novella in OTHER PEOPLE'S BAGGAGE) PILLOW STALK (#1) THAT TOUCH OF INK (#2) WITH VICS YOU GET EGGROLL (#3) April 2015 Part of the Henery Press Mystery Series Collection, if you like one, you'll probably like them all...\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Henery Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/07\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781941962053\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.99lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.63d","brand":"Diane Vallere","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":38211703111861,"sku":"9781941962053","price":27.16,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_2ebb850e-a1b0-475c-aff3-2958b77d0ad1.jpg?v=1610431647","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/pillow-stalk-9781941962053","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
