Synopsis
Heiress Prudence MacKenzie and ex-Pinkerton Geoffrey Hunter are about to become more than partners as investigators—they are to be wed at Trinity Church in Lower Manhattan. But a killer has designs on ruining the wedding as well as their lives . . . IN DEADLY FASHIONAUGUST 1891. Prudence has her heart set on wearing her mother&’s wedding gown on the happy day, but she soon discovers the material has deteriorated so badly that it cannot be refurbished. With time running out, she decides to seek out a new American designer, a woman who trained in the House of Worth, the makers of the original dress in Paris, who now has a shop in New York City. The gown is nearly complete when the expert seamstress overseeing the project is found dead in the studio, with Prudence&’s wedding dress slashed to ribbons and scattered over the body. The murder incites a scandal, as client after client deserts the now struggling designer. Now not only must Prudence find the murderer, she must rescue the talented young couturière&’s reputation—all while another gown is being hastily sewn. The police suspect the seamstress&’s disgruntled lover. Prudence wonders about other designers competing in the cutthroat world of high fashion. But when additional wedding plans start to go awry, it&’s clear there is an elaborate campaign of sabotage and that either Prudence or Geoffrey or both are being targeted. Once again they must work as a team to expose whoever is determined to ruin their lives—before the future they&’ve so long dreamed of is left in tatters . . .
