The Case of the Flashing Fashion Queen: A Dix Dodd Mystery (Dix Dodd Mysteries)
Tired of getting no respect at the big P.I. firm where she’s worked for years, Dix Dodd has hung out her own shingle at the ripe age of 40. There are plenty of cheating husbands to go around, and Dix has a knack for busting them. Problem is, it doesn’t always pay so well. Conscious that the guys back at the old firm are laying bets about how soon she’ll come crawling back, she figures she’s got six months to make a go of it. The going gets even tougher when she hires Dylan Foreman. But when he told her about getting fired from his law firm and disbarred for putting common decency before the firm’s interests, she hired him on the spot.

The case of the flashing fashion queen,
This was a fun and funny read. I loved the book from start to finish. It isn’t very often an authors book makes me laugh out loud but Norah Wilson is one of the few. Dix Dodd is a very likable character who ends up in some pretty funny situations. Nicely done Ms. Wilson!

|A whole lot of fun,
I just finished the first Dix Dodd mystery and loved it. It was awesomely entertaining, with a good mystery and some kick butt characters. There were some wonderful laugh out loud moments, but what I really liked was the hint of vulnerability in Dix. She was so tough and was often larger than life, but that vulnerability made her someone I could relate to. As for Dylan – wow. I look forward to seeing where that relationship goes. I’ve already downloaded book number two to my Kindle and can’t wait to read it.

|has some good points, but……,
I realy cannot agree with all these 5 star ratings. The book is ok, the characters have potential. I liked them more towards the end than the beginning so I think character developemnet is essential if this plans to be a series. As for the protagonist Ms Dodd, I find myself at times relating, but more often than not I would like to strangle her. The self doubt bit is tedious and time consuming. You cannot prove to us she is a confident go getter by simply writing it.As comparing her to The Stephanie Plum series by Ms Evanovich is insulting to Ms E. This series does not grab you and run like the other, but it has the potential of improvement so I gave it a 3. It was an ok read. And don’t bother trying to figure out who done it…there are no clues that will lead you to it…oh excuse me there was one obscure clue…a word. As to why the spa chick had to be in the gather them all together and reveal moment???? What can I say I gave it a 3 because it is 98 degees at the top of the mountain today and it was a cheap order on the kindle…so it killed a few hours….but the writing is often stilted, the characters are pretty one dimensional. However the plot had potential and the charisma between the 2 leads is good, but Mrs. P ain’t no grandma Mazur.
