Death in Velvet: A Golden Age Historical Cosy Mystery (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781950203369)

Who doesn't want the latest fashions?

But the cutting-edge is a dangerous place to be.

Springtime in Paris, 1936.

When Madame Lafitte invites Ruby Dove to her fashion show, how can she and Fina resist?

Unaware of the gathering storm of greed, envy, and malice, our intrepid sleuths plunge headlong once more from the drama of fashion into the drama of murder. A flighty model, an affable cad, a pushy buyer, a gruff archeologist, a wretched assistant, an insouciant hotel manager, a confident maid, and a talented designer all have a motive for murder. And every one of them could have risked the guillotine.

Faced with too many suspects, too many motives, and the ticking clock of a police investigation, our detectives wine and dine their way through Paris, hoping that someone will slip. Perhaps a Freudian slip, edged with fashionable lace?

If you love golden age detection with a dash of history, join our fashionable Oxford sleuth-spies in a delightful mystery romp through the 1930s. Ruby and Fina wager that you'll never guess who did it.
