    About this audiobook

    Interior Decorator Madison Night has her hands full with a demanding client and a product endorsement, but when the news shifts from reports of recently abducted women to the discovery of a dead body, she can't deny the danger. Evidence from the scene links the flirtatious Lt. Tex Allen to the crime, taking him off the case. As more abductees are either released or killed, Tex struggles with his suspension, on the brink of turning vigilante.

    Madison's own life is complicated by the return of her hunky handyman, Hudson James. When seemingly unrelated events lead back to the abductions, she exposes a secondary agenda, a copycat crime, and a vengeful plot to destroy someone she loves.

      I can usually figure mysteries out pretty quick, but this one kept me guessing until the very end. Great main character and a very fun read!
    • 5/5
      Diane Vallere's Madison Night books continue to be my favorite cozy mystery series. Having read the fourth book first, I bought the first three and am happy to say that I'm all caught up and ready for book five, The Pajama Frame, which will be released at the end of February. These books have given me a new respect for Doris Day, the actress Madison Night models herself after. If that sounds too cute for words (along with the book covers), think again. Most people, if they are aware of Doris Day at all, think of the frothy romantic comedies she starred in with Rock Hudson, but there's much more to Doris than that. She was a trailblazer in her own right, and her movies run the full spectrum from musicals to Alfred Hitchcock. She portrayed an independent woman who didn't need anyone's protection, and if you think about it, she's the perfect role model for someone like Madison Night. (And I hope you've noticed that the book titles use Day's movies as inspiration.)In With Vics You Get Eggroll, the spotlight is on Tex Allen, the other man in Madison's life. Yes, she's been dealing with one of fiction's favorite dilemmas for female characters: two men circling around her with bright eyes and hope in their hearts. We've already had a book focusing on Madison's contractor Hudson James, so now it's Tex's turn, and I have to admit that accusing someone of murder is a good way to find out what kind of person they are. Thus, in three books, Vallere solves Madison's man dilemma, and that's good news for readers like me who don't care for that particular plot device. (And no, the series doesn't weaken once Madison has made her choice.)The mystery surrounding the Lakewood Abductor is very well-constructed and creates some lovely thrills and chills. My brain whispered to me whom the abductor had to be, but I ignored it, choosing instead to snuggle down and enjoy the book. One of the things I enjoy the most about this series is that this cast of characters is intelligent and caring-- and they don't do stupid things or run off half-cocked. Madison is forty-eight, has a bum knee, and knows she's not Wonder Woman. Throw in her adorable Shih Tzu named Rocky, and this series pretty much has it all-- including humor. In With Vics You Get Eggroll, there's a scene in which Tex vents his frustration out on an oak tree and gets taken to task by the elderly lady next-door. I loved it.Strong mysteries, an excellent cast, chills, thrills and laughter, and an adorable dog... if you haven't read a Madison Night mystery, what are you waiting for?
    • 5/5
      Charming and delightful, like the rest of the series

      I try to not be too repetitive, but I can't find another word that fits this book (this series) other than "charming".

      I love the 60s Doris Day flavour, I love the stories, and with every book my opinion on who Madison should date gets stronger. In this book, the relationships with Hudson and Tex change and get deeper, but not necessarily in the way I was thinking. So I found plenty of surprising twists and was well and truly hooked from the first page.
    • 4/5
      This book is #3 in a series, but it stands along well by itself. It is a fun cozy mystery with a bit of romance thrown in. The book had me guessing on 'whodunit' until the end. Recommended if you are looking for a nice, light read with a bit of substance. I am looking forward to getting the first 2!I received a copy of the book in exchange for an unbiased review.

      4 STARS For a decorator Madison Night sure gets involved with a bunch of murders. This is a charming murder mystery with a Doris Day influence. I did not even pick up on the name until I went looking for information about the book. With six you get eggrolls. So I am sure I missed a whole bunch of references. Madison Night is a decorator who specializes in the 60's. She is a big Doris Day fan. She is single. Her dog is named Rocky. She does not want to let people into her life. She realizes that she already has. Someone in the Dallas area is kidnapping women. So the women are scared. When the first body shows up a clue is found that leads the police to their own Lt. Tex Allen. Madison has flirted with him and she believes in him. Madison has also liked her handyman Hudson. He has been gone for a few months. Madison keeps showing up where the missing women are found or taken. Someone is framing Allen. Madison is determined to help him. This is a clean read. Has some humor, lots of information about the 60's fashion and decorating ideas. I was given this ebook to read by Net Galley and Henery Press. In return I agreed to give honest review of With Vics you Get Eggroll
    • 4/5
      Mid century designer Madison Night is definitely the star of her own life. Her love of Doris Day is already cemented, and the character has been able to grow in each story way past the explanations of the names of dogs and places. Madison’s working on a mid century restoration for a Cali couple, who have recently returned to the area. News of the Lakewood Abductor, described as a cop with a badge identifying Lt. Tex Allen, prompts Madison into helping her friend clear his name, as the abductor becomes killer. There are a lot of storylines going on throughout. Hudson, Madison’s usual handyman is on the road. Her apartment building is emptying out and her hidden ranch house isn’t so hidden anymore. The great thing about this mystery is that Vallere is able to tie together so many strings of the story into one surprising ending. I had some guesses along the way, but with so many avenues to explore, didn’t have it exactly right.
