The Final Fitting (Elsie Hargrove Mysteries Book 3)

Description

In fashion, revenge never goes out of style.

Elsie Hargrove expected drama when she agreed to help judge Fleming’s prestigious Designer Showcase, but not murder. When rising star Lucy Reeves is found strangled with a priceless vintage scarf moments before being crowned winner, Elsie must navigate the cutthroat world of high fashion to catch a killer.

Between feuding designers, a ruthless fast-fashion mogul, and a venomous fashion critic with old scores to settle, suspects abound. Working alongside Detective Jack Goodman—whose wife’s mysterious return to town complicates both the case and their growing attraction—Elsie discovers that in fashion, old grudges never go out of style.

As death threats circulate like this season’s must-have accessories, Elsie realizes she’s racing against time. With her knowledge of both crime and couture, Elsie must catch a murderer who turns death into haute couture before they unveil their deadliest design yet. In this world of sequins and secrets, even investigating in style might not be enough to keep her alive.

Fans of Kerry Greenwood’s Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries, Louise Penny’s Three Pines series, Joanne Fluke’s culinary mysteries, and M.C. Beaton’s Hamish Macbeth book will love this charming cozy mystery with a strong female lead.
