Dolled up for Murder by Deb Baker
This is the first book I've read in the Gretchen Birch Murder Mystery series. As most of you know, I love to learn a little about a new area or a glimpse into something I might not have otherwise known and Deb Baker does a great job in "showing" the reader around Phoenix with descriptions of Camelback Mountain and sharing how the brutal summer heat affects the characters. This is a series I will be following. Gretchen Birch is a character I want to read more about and the little tidbits about the doll collecting/repairing cottage industry is intriguing.
