Madison Night left Pennsylvania for Texas to get away from a
love affair gone wrong. With a bum knee, she has
established a new life. Madison loves Doris Day and the
period is which her movies took place. She collects objects
from the fifties and uses them in her decorating business.
In her free time, she works in a theater which shows classic
films.
When pillows that she had in her trunk are used in several
murders, all women bearing a resemblance to Doris Day,
Madison becomes a suspect. She starts investigating in self
defense. When the police arrest a friend of hers for the
murder, Madison begins to question everything and everyone
involved.
The investigation will put Madison in danger and deepen her
relationship with the detective assigned to the case.
PILLOW STALK is an intricately plotted and well-written
book, I really
enjoyed the story. I can't imagine decorating a house in
the style from Doris Day's movies but it makes fine reading.
Interior Decorator Madison Night has modeled her life after Doris Day's character in Pillow Talk, but when a killer targets women dressed like the bubbly actress, Madison's signature sixties style places her in the middle of a homicide investigation. The local detective connects the new crimes to a twenty-year old cold case, and Madison's long-trusted contractor emerges as the leading suspect. As the body count piles up like a stack of plush pillows, Madison uncovers a Soviet spy, a campaign to destroy all Doris Day movies, and six minutes of film that will change her life forever.
