There are two things that can’t talk—moving pictures and dead showgirls…
1920, Wellington, New Zealand. Grace Devine is poised to build her thriving dress design business as the twenties begin to soar. But when a fashionable client is murdered, suspicion falls on Grace as the last person to see Agatha alive.
As wary clients cancel and business begins to fail, Grace decides there’s only one way to prove her innocence and save her career…this seamstress will turn sleuth to find who really murdered the showgirl.
The more she learns, the more she uncovers of the darker side of the dead woman’s personality. Agatha liked to collect secrets and use them against people. But what target snapped that fatal night? Can Grace stitch together the clues before her life is torn apart…
These heart-warming historical mysteries will send you on a unique New Zealand adventure.
MY THOUGHTS
I never connected with the characters. In fact, most of them were unlikable. Even Grace, who we were told time and time again about how much of a kind heart she had. But I never really saw it. SPOILER:
This was almost a DNF, but I was curious enough about the mystery that I wanted to see whodunnit. I did enjoy the setting of Wellington, New Zealand and I thought that Grace's special ability was interesting. I wish it had been explained and used a little more, though. I think I'll be skipping the rest of this series and just stick with this author's paranormal romances.
TWO STARS
