Hungry Like the Sleuth

By Nancy Lethcoe

The big-haired owner of a 1980s vintage store in Hollywood, CA becomes a desperately seeking sleuth in this totally rad new mystery series for fans of Elle Cosimano, Catherine Mack, and Jesse Q. Sutanto.

Roxy Carlisle holds an eternal flame for her favorite decade--the 1980s. With her Aqua Net 'do and neon nails, she embodies the fashion and culture she sells in her vintage '80s shop, Big Hair, inspiring new generations of material girls and wild boys.

From skinny ties and lace fingerless gloves to VCRs and cassette tapes, Roxy sells the best of 80s kitsch, music, and fashion. Located on Ventura Boulevard in Hollywood, California, Big Hair attracts locals and tourists looking for analog novelty and a retro escape from 21st-century living. But while she and her girlfriends just wanna have fun, someone who's seen too many slasher films murders Roxy's manicurist.

As one of Maria Garcia's last clients--and an eyewitness who saw a hooded man flee from the alley where she stumbled upon her body--Roxy finds herself part of the investigation, led by a handsome LAPD detective. And as the police search for the suspected killer, Roxy becomes tangled in an even larger mystery so puzzling, she'll need all her wits and charm to solve it . . .
