Designer Knockoff: A Crime of Fashion Mystery, By: Ellen Byerrum
Fiction-mystery, 325 pages copyright 2004
From the title alone you have most likely guessed that this is a book written mainly for women, and you would be right, it is a bit of a chick lit book; however, it has a lot more murder then most. The main character is Lacey Smithsonian a fashion writer for a D.C. paper. (Note: there is no fashion in D.C. all politicians dress the same.) Because of this lack of work she is busy working on two murder mysteries that are some what related to fashion, as a designer is closely connected to both women, even thought the women are separated by 60 years of time. Also she only has old letters from a dead aunt to help her with the one woman, who officially only disappeared as no body was ever found. And of course being a fashion writer the help that she gets is a bit odd to. There is her leather clad hairdresser, an ex-employee of a store owned by the designer, her dead aunt’s belongings, and the nephew of the designer who she isn’t sure if she can trust. All and all this was a fun book to read with a few twist and turns in the plotline that I was not expecting.
