Publisher's summary

Everyone knows Arno Heywood. He's been a Minneapolis TV personality for years. So when he jumps to his death from a downtown high-rise, it's a shocker--especially since he dies wearing women's clothes, a suicide in drag.

In chic Linden Lofts, where Arno lived, the other tenants are spooked, and smart investigator Jane Lawless soon finds out why. They, like Arno, have secrets to conceal, and the shadowy someone with a full set of keys who's scouting out their apartments may soon make that impossible. Can one of Linden Loft's upscale professionals really be an aspiring blackmailer? Before Jane and her pal Cordelia can make sure, a brutal murder ups the ante.

Excellent series!

I’m binge listening to the whole series on Audible. It’s intelligent, witty, and suspenseful! The clever and fresh dialogue between Cordelia and Jane often has me laughing. The narrator is excellent, though she very occasionally mispronounces a word here or there, such a detritus, abject, or languorously. Her narration feels authentic and lively and keeps the listener’s attention in the story. Overall, this series and the Audible version are both highly recommended!
