Skeptical fashion reporter and stylish sleuth
Lacey Smithsonian returns in the second volume in the Crime of Fashion
series. This time she becomes entangled in a fabric of deceit and
death when high fashion collides with low dealings in very
unstylish Washington, D.C. A missing Congressional intern's
scandalous secret, a New York fashion dynasty's closetful of skeletons,
a young designer's unsolved disappearance, and a long-lost scrap of
black market silk from World War Two--it's a pattern custom-tailored
for murder. And what on earth does her beloved Aunt Mimi's trunk full
of memories and long-forgotten dress patterns have to do with the
faceless but well-dressed body in the swamp? Lacey and her motley
crew of friends and conspirators race to unravel the truth behind
two disappearances sixty years apart and unmask the killer behinda dress to die for.
Lacey's Fashion Bite of the Day:
Shopping
under the influence of temptation? Beware of chocolate highs,
bogus bargains, frivolous friends, and impossible fantasies. Or are
you really ready to jet off to Spain just because that slinky little
white dress whispers, "Barcelona"?
