Description
Fashion reporter and stylish sleuth Lacey Smithsonian returns in her second Crime of Fashion Mystery, as high crimes and haute couture heat up Washington, D. C.: "The City Fashion Forgot. " Lacey tangles with a fabric of deceit and death when high fashion meets low dealings in unfashionable Washington. A missing intern's scandalous secret, a New York fashion dynasty's closetful of skeletons, a young fashion designer's unsolved disappearance in the 1940s, and a long-lost scrap of black market show more silk from World War Two: It's a pattern custom-tailored for murder. And what on earth does her beloved Aunt Mimi's old steamer trunk, full of memories, fashion memorabilia, and long-forgotten dress patterns have to do with that well-dressed body in the swamp? Lacey races to unravel the truth behind two disappearances sixty years apart - and to unmask the killer behind a dress to die for. show lessTags

Better written than the first in the series, but otherwise very similar.
This series of books by Ellen Byerrum is fun. They're good to read when you just want to enjoy reading and not have to think about anything dense or intellectual. I also like the fashion angle.
Cute, fun loving mystery with fashion tips along the way! Definite must-read!
