Mystery Doll Query - Who is She?

No, you haven't got the wrong blog. Still PhillyCollector here, but I received a doll query in Comments that I decided to bring out for my fellow doll enthusiasts.

I will not spoil the mystery, but I will let you know that Dolled Up for Murder is the FIRST of a mystery series set in Arizona and with a doll collecting background.
