Former Manhattan fashion buyer Kelly Quinn is turning her grandmother’s outdated consignment shop into her quaint hometown’s hot spot for upscale style—until her second-hand couture makes the scene of an ice-cold crime . . .
With her bottom line looking a little threadbare, Kelly is going all out to promote the Lucky Cove Resale Boutique. She’s counting on Black Friday to recover her start-up expenses—including a website and an advertising blitz. But the publicity is overkill when two warring divas, and one sparkly evening dress, thrust Kelly and her fledgling business into a scandal she can’t afford.
The gorgeous garment came to Kelly from the walk-in closets of Wendy Johnson, one of reality TV’s Long Island Ladies. When Wendy’s former co-star, Diana Delacourte, graces a Christmas gala in the dress that was once her rival’s, a very public catfight ensues. But is Wendy to blame when sequin-clad Diana turns up dead? Dodging the show’s ever-present cameras—and a detective’s stern warnings—Kelly hunts for a killer before the powerful celebrity-suspect makes good on her threats and rips her to shreds . .


.
In this second book of a fun new series, (the Resale Boutique Mysteries,) Kelly again finds herself close to the spotlight. Her uncle has organized a party for the holidays which brings together stars of a reality based television show. Unknown to Kelly, a dress purchased from her belonged to one star and is worn by another. This does not go over well (except for the viewers) but when the dress is then found on a murdered woman... Kelly feels justified in looking for a killer.
I do not watch this sort of reality tv. but even I know how popular each character and be and how hated. The author does a wonderful job of developing her cast and giving personality to supporting "players" as well. There are several viable suspects and multiple motives.
I also enjoy humor inserted in a mystery in just the right intervals and amounts.

I look forward to seeing where she takes us next!

In my early twenties, I bought a house and converted it into a full blown marijuana grow op. Soon after, I entered into the world of elite call girls and became one of the most sought after girls in my agency. By my late twenties, I was on top of the world and the proud
