“Absolutely terrific!”—New York Times bestselling author Diane Mott Davidson

“Readers have a special and original new series to enjoy.”—The Mystery Gazette
 
“An unusual hobby provides the backdrop for this mystery that combines textile arts and history in a unique way.”—The Mystery Reader

“I enjoy this series so much, and with each book, the stories get better.”—MyShelf.com

“This mystery was fun to read while still educating me about buttons. I also enjoyed Josie’s character—she’s fun, funny, and sharp...It was also nice to see someone embrace their ‘button nerd’ side.”—Fresh Fiction

From the Publisher

In this urban cozy set in Chicago with a Hollywood connection, sensible Josie Giancola, a known expert in antique and specialized buttons, suddenly finds herself in deep trouble. A movie star who wanted special buttons for her wedding gown is murdered in Josie's store. The victim, reviled by her assistants but adored by fans, leaves quite a wake behind her. A stray, unique button is found near the body, the only clue. Josie's likable neighbor, who happens to be a retired cop, and the lead detective provide the support she needs to solve her case. Because you see, when it comes to buttons, Josie is the top cop. VERDICT This first-person narrated cozy series debut has strong crossover appeal for bibliophiles and museum fans. Think Kate Carlisle's "Bibliophile Mysteries" and Sheila Connolly's "Museum Mysteries." Logan includes tips on antique button collecting. Logan also writes as Miranda Bliss and Casey Daniels.
