Praise for Hungry Like the Sleuth
“A must read for every child of the 80s.” —Libby Klein, author of Vice and Virtue
“Missing the 80s? Flashdance, Aqua Net and Boy George all appear in Nancy Lethcoe's bodacious new Big Hair Mystery Hungry Like the Sleuth, so take a chill pill, grab your Pound Puppy and like totally let yourself go on a fantabulous trip to the past in this absolutely awesome whodunit.” —Leslie Meier, author of the Lucy Stone Mystery
“Move over, Magnum P.I. and Jessica Fletcher, there's a new sleuth in town! With a Porsche named Stevie Nicks, a heart as big as her hair, and an encyclopedic knowledge of all things '80s, Roxy Carlisle moonwalks her way into a murder investigation that's clever, funny, and impossible to put down. Hungry Like The Sleuth is a totally tubular mystery and an absolute blast!” —Lee Hollis, author of The Chowder House Murder
“Bodacious! Nancy Lethcoe has nailed the 1980s! Fun and humorous, Hungry Like The Sleuth takes place in the present, but classic phrases, bands, and songs will take you back to the 80s. Roxy Carlisle is stellar! Kind and thoughtful, she finds herself in the middle of inexplicable murders that will have you turning the pages until the clever ending. Don’t let Roxy’s big hair and blue eyeshadow fool you-she’s on the case!” —Krista Davis, author of The Diva Hosts a Murderer Series
