(Historical / Mystery / Detective) In 1892, reporter Sean Madigan is pitted against the New York police when he's assigned his first high-profile murder story, the slaying of the wealthy Marshal Haversham, clothing industry mogel and sweatshop owner. While Sean hunts for the killer in order to prove his worth to his newspaper editor, the madman goes on a violent spree, burning down Haversham's warehouses and sweatshops and killing young women who work within them. Each victim is found dressed in a fancy ball gown that was secretly made within the sweatshops themselves. When Madigan's sweetheart, Bridget, becomes the killer's next target, Sean determines he will find the man and his connection to the ball gowns. But the murderer has other designs, and it soon becomes a race against time and the police to discover the fiend's identity before he silences Sean or Bridget...permanently...

Editorial Reviews

Review

"4 CUPS!...I really enjoyed DRESSED FOR DYING. I like how human Sean is portrayed in all his endeavors. He is not wishy-washy....His love for [Bridget] is genuine and this reader could tell how much he really cares, not only for Bridget, but people in general. Janet Quinn allows this reader to feel the intensity when Sean's concerns for Bridget go into triple play. She creates real drama, and emotions in gigantic proportions, in this intriguing read that I found entertaining."--Cherokee, Coffee Time Romance & More

"4.5 NYMPHS!...a wonderful mystery that will keep you reading all the way to the end to find out if the hero survives...The more I read this book, the more I became intrigued by the main character, who was like a lion stalking his prey...Janet Quinn has done a fantastic job telling of the difficulties of the lives of newspaper reporters, whether it is a beginner or veteran..."--Goddess Minx, Literary Nymphs Reviews --This text refers to the Kindle Edition edition.
