A Dolls to Die For mystery - Book 1
When Gretchen Birch reluctantly arrives in Phoenix, Arizona to search for her mother, a talented doll restorer, she thinks her Aunt Nina is performing her usual theatrics. But Nina, purse dog trainer and self-proclaimed psychic, fears her mother’s disappearance is connected with the death of Martha, an alcoholic has-been doll collector found at the base of a ridge on Camelback Mountain. Martha carried a small expensive French doll parasol in her pocket and a piece of paper implicating Gretchen’s mother clenched in her cold fist. Restringing an antique doll is child’s play compared to the skills Gretchen must hone to save her mother and herself.
