Button Holed by Kylie Logan

Button Holed (Button Box Mystery, #1)

by Kylie Logan

Fasten-up for the first delightful mystery in national bestselling author Kylie Logan’s Button Box series.

Working out of her button shop in a Chicago brownstone, Josie Giancola has quietly become one of the country’s leading experts on buttons—antique buttons,  jeweled buttons, artistic buttons. Her reputation draws a Hollywood starlet to the Button Box to shop for one-of-a-kind buttons for her made-to-order wedding gown.
 
But after the Button Box is ransacked and the actress is murdered, Josie’s cozy world is thrown into chaos. Homicide detective Nevin Riley is looking to her for clues, starting with the murder weapon—an antique button hook. But a killer has other ideas, like keeping Josie’s lips buttoned up...permanently.
 
Includes tips on antique button collecting!

Just meh. Didn't connect with the characters that much and I thought there were too many plot devices used. PITA ex? Flaky assistant? Brusque detective? Retired brusque detective? They're all there. Not a bad book, but really didn't interest me.
