The full description: 

In the glamorous world of 1960s air travel, stewardess Patricia "Patty" Byrne has heard every joke, weathered every dismissive comment, and smiled through countless assumptions that pretty faces come with empty heads. But when murder strikes at thirty thousand feet—and then follows her home—Patty discovers she has a talent that has nothing to do with serving champagne or remembering to wear her girdle.

Armed with sharp observation skills, a stubborn streak that won't quit, and an FBI agent who's starting to see her as more than just another witness, Patty finds herself drawn into a world of Hollywood secrets, deadly grudges, and small-town scandals. From luxury hotels packed with movie stars to rough-and-tumble cattle towns where disputes are settled with fists, Patty navigates settings where a woman in a uniform is supposed to smile, serve, and stay quiet.

But Patty Byrne has never been good at staying quiet.

Set against the backdrop of a rapidly changing America—where anti-war protests clash with patriotic fervor, women fight for respect in male-dominated workplaces, and air travel still means dressing in your finest—this cozy mystery series combines period charm with genuine suspense. Each book delivers clever puzzle-solving, a touch of romance, and the satisfaction of watching an underestimated woman prove she's the smartest person in the room.
