Death Brims Over

Journal Entry 1 by catsalive from Rooty Hill, New South Wales Australia on Wednesday, January 28, 2015
cover:
Meet Brenda Midnight. She's a savvy young designer with her own hat shop, who has never even thought of chasing crooks. But when crime invades her cobblestone Greenwich Village neighbourhood and the cops don't have a clue, Brenda has to drop everything, including her hats, to catch a thief... and a killer.
There's big money to be made if Brenda and her dress designer friend Carla can create the high society wedding of the year. Carla's covering the bride and her maids with dresses to die for, and Brenda's doing the hats. But just as Brenda's finishing the last of the exquisite headgear, she's held up by a woman in a hot pink suit, who escapes with the entire collection. Brenda takes off after her high-priced hats and runs straight into her friend Carla - dead! It's bloody murder - but Brenda can't convince the men in blue that they should be chasing the mysterious lady in pink - who may have come up with her own design... for murder.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Too silly for my liking - zany people, dumb cops & ridiculous plots. Even the interaction between Brenda & her friends & beaux annoyed me. There were parts of the story that I liked, but each time I found myself enjoying it it was overshadowed by more silliness. One has to suspend disbelief to read a cozy, but not usually to this extent.
