Instead, she finds a corpse.</p><p>With movie costumes as bait, Joanna investigates why Stroden was murdered. Could it be tied to the tell-all Hollywood memoir he was writing? Or to a midcentury film noir that was mysteriously yanked before it was released? Or to his "adoring" sister? </p><p>At the same time, Joanna stumbles upon a priceless pair of emerald earrings hidden on her laundry shelf. Her houseguest has some explaining to do. Joanna's new marriage--and, possibly, her life itself--depend on figuring out who is acting and who is for real.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"The Vintage Clothing mysteries offer a compelling blend of suspense and style.
