A Crime of Fashion Mystery
BY ELLEN BYERRUM
ABOUT THE BOOK:
Home of the helmet hairdo and congressional comb-over,
Washington, D.C., is a hotbed of fashion faux pas. If anyone
should know, it’s “Crimes of Fashion”
columnist Lacey Smithsonian. She dishes out advice to the
scandal-scorched and clothing-clueless, doing her part to
change this town—one fashion victim at a time....
SHAWL TALE
Washington, D.C., fashion reporter Lacey Smithsonian has always believed clothes can be magical, but she’s never thought they can be cursed. Until now. Lacey’s best friend, Stella, is finally getting married, and at her bachelorette party, fellow bridesmaid—and fortune-teller—Marie Largesse arrives with a stunning Russian shawl. A shawl, Marie warns, that can either bless or curse the wearer. When a party crasher who mocks the shawl is found dead the next day, the other guests fear the curse has been unleashed. But Lacey has her doubts, and she must employ all her Extra-Fashionary Perception to capture a villain who has vowed that nobody at this wedding will live happily ever after....

I have never heard of a cursed shawl. I'd like to see how she solves this and how the wedding goes off hopefully without any more trouble.

I see she has a new novella for teens and adults that is available on Amazon...a mystery that looks pretty cute.
