Valleys, Vehicles, and Victims by Tonya Kappes is another fun adventure with Mae West and the Laundry Club gals.

Did Gert kill Tom Moon out of revenge?


Mae West and the Laundry Club gals are on the case again when a friend of theirs is the police's main suspect in the killing of a wealthy businessman. The girls didn't think Gert did it since they know that their friend would never commit a crime like that. The evidence that the police were finding was hurting the chances of Gert being found innocent. Mae, though, is undeterred and wants to figure it out. She is still our main character, and this one is as good as the others.

The Mystery


The mystery is about Tom Moon being found with a knife in his back in his soon-to-be son-in-law's motel room. Everyone knows that Gert didn't like Tom, especially since she publicly confronted Tom about stealing her recipe. That doesn't help Gert at all. There is also the whole thing of Tom being found in her daughter's fiancee's room when anyone could see that Lewis, the soon-to-be son-in-law, and his dad were coming up with an idea to steal Tom's company. Then, Amy, the woman that kept Tom organized, had motive as well if she was fired. But would she do that?

A lot of motives are popping up. There was not enough time to figure it out as everyone there for the wedding was going back to New York soon to take care of business.  

Four Stars


Valleys, Vehicles, and Victims by Tonya Kappes is an exciting tale that started when Gert was in college, working at a coffee shop. Now, will she get what she is rightfully owed, or will it still be kept from her? Guess it will all depend on if the Laundry Club gals can figure it out.

I am giving Valleys, Vehicles, and Victims by Tonya Kappes four stars and recommending it to anyone that loves a good cozy mystery.
