In her colorful, tree-lined neighborhood, Brenda Midnight has set Midnight Millinery, where she creates gravity-defying hat designs. But when Brenda's ex-husband Nado P. Sharpe finds a very dead body on the garage floor where he parked his van, it's all too clear that danger lurks in the lot. So Brenda Midnight, milliner and sleuth extraordinaire, is back in action for the third time to catch a killer.
Barbara Jaye Wilson has worked as a potter, painter, resume typer, backup singer, grahic designer, and miliner. The first book in her Brenda Midnight mystery series, Death Brims Over, was nominated for a Agatha Award. She occasionally stops writing, rolls out the buckram and hatblocks, and turns her Grennwich Village apartment into a milinary studio.
A milliner that is having trouble keeping up with the hats for the season is distracted when her ex husband shows up in New York. Brenda Midnight helps Nado (her ex) to score a free parking spot. Then there is a murder in the parking garage and Nado is missing. When Nado's current wife (who Brenda doesn't like) shows up and things get even crazier. Enjoyed this book.
