STRANGLED BY SILK, is the latest Poppy Cove mystery, and it's all about Daphne and Margot––two independent young California women in 1957––who own their own dress shop called Poppy Cove.
When one of their top clients, Constance Stearns-Montgomery, is strangled to death with her own silk scarf at the opening ceremonies for her new girls' academy, Daphne and Margot are shocked. They can't believe that such a horrid crime could take place in their sleepy little oceanside village of Santa Lucia. Worse, they've lost one of their best clients. The two women quickly become embroiled in solving the crime. After all, if anyone can track down the killer, it should be them.
"This delightful premiere in the Poppy Cove Mystery series takes us back to the 50's! Readers are in for fashion and excitement as they try to solve the mystery along with independent dress shop owners Daphne and Margot. I really enjoyed this story. The author captured the feel of the 50's while still making the story feel modern and fresh. I love the look of vintage 50's dresses, so I was beside myself with joy imagining all of the glorious apparel worn by the ladies in this wonderful tale. The action started fast and just got better. I was anxious to turn each and every page and hated to put the book down. STRANGLED BY SILK captured me from the beginning and didn't let go until the thrilling end." -Reviewed by Tiggedy2
