Mandy Dyer owns a dry cleaning business, and she is surprised when one of her regular customers dies and leaves her a bag of old clothes. When she finds out that her friend died of a fall down the basement stairs, her suspicions are aroused as the old lady had told her she never went downstairs because she did not want to risk a fall. She discovers the old clothes to have a multitude of buttons sewn on to them, and suspects they may be valuable, so she starts investigating, hoping to find evidence to support her suspicion of murder and have the police investigate.

For a light cozy mystery, this was okay, though I have read better. The information about button collecting was interesting, but overall the book was rather bland, and the characters at times a little irritating. I may read more of this series if another book comes my way, but I would not go out of my way to find them. I rate this 2.75 stars, rounded up to 3.
