About this ebook

Samantha Kidd thought she understood the risks of her world—but this time, the danger feels different. When emotions run high and tensions turn deadly, this humorous cozy mystery forces the amateur sleuth to confront secrets that could change everything.

Samantha Kidd has solved her share of crimes—but when it comes to espionage, she’s an absolute beginner.

When Samantha wins a mystery trunk from the estate of a glamorous sixties pop star, she expects mod fashions and vintage memorabilia. What she finds instead are classified documents that point to secrets far more dangerous than miniskirts and vinyl records.

After multiple attempts to steal the trunk, Samantha decides to sell it—keeping the suspicious papers safely out of sight. But when the new owner is found dead, clutching one of the singer’s albums, walking away is no longer an option.

Pulled into a web of old secrets, shady collectors, and people who would kill to keep the past buried, Samantha must rely on her instincts—and a little help from her friends—to uncover the truth. Because this mystery isn’t just about fashion history. It’s about secrets that were never meant to resurface.

Can Samantha expose a decades-old conspiracy before the final track plays?

Stark Raving Mod is book 13 in the Killer Fashion mystery series. Perfect for readers who love mod-era style, vintage secrets, and classic spy stories. Each book can be read as a standalone, but the series is best enjoyed in order.
