Josie Marcus, the infamous mystery shopper and part-time
unofficial sleuth, is back again for more action and this
time she finds herself wrapped up in a peculiar twist of
fashion, so to speak, that leaves her quite befuddled.
When Halley Hardwicke, designer of luxury and fashion-
forward scarves, winds up dead as a doorknob, Josie must
don her detective hat and figure out whodunit or else risk
seeing her best friend's husband spend the rest of his
life behind bars.
Jake Bohannon....accused of murder? Now how can
that be? As far as anyone can tell, Jake is your bonafide
strapping lawyer who would much rather be setting the
courtroom on fire than meddling in his neighbor's
affairs. Quite smartly, he chooses to leave that job up
to his doting and very capable wife, Alyce, who whips up
gourmet meals that would make even the likes of Martha
Stewart proud. Their lifestyle is the envy of all their
peers until the misfortune of being accused of murder
tarnishes their reputation and sends them scurrying like
mice to find a killer before he or she strikes again.
So why then do the police think that Jake had a hand in
the murder of the flamboyant Halley Hardwicke? Perhaps
it's the videotape that caught his supposedly innocent
rendezvous with the eccentric designer at the local hotel
that has the police suspicious? Or maybe it's the sample
of DNA that has surfaced that links him to the victim that
has them in a flutter? Whatever the reason, it's up to
Josie and her sidekick, Alyce, to weed out the clues and
put the real murderer behind bars before Jake finds
himself permanently adding orange to his soon-to-be humble
wardrobe.
ACCESSORY TO MURDER is a delightful romantic suspense that
entertains as well as humors even the hardest to please of
mystery fans. Without a doubt, Elaine Viets knows how to
orchestrate a flawless mystery with just the right blend
of humor, intrigue, and hot romance. If you are looking
to complete your wardrobe for the fall, you just found the
most essential piece....Elaine Viets' ACCESSORY TO
MURDER.
Someone has killed Halley Hardwicke, the hot young designer
of thousand-dollar Italian silk scarves, in the mall parking
lot-and police have their eye on Jake, the husband of
Josie's best friend Alyce. The couple lived near the wrap
maven, but it seems Halley and Jake were a little too
neighborly.
So Josie decides to do what she does best to help out her
friend-go undercover and see if she can find some clues.
Because this time, there's a lot more at stake than a scarf,
even if it's to die for...
