A winning design of a murder mystery that takes a peek into the darker side of the world of fashion. This is the second in the ‘Mystery for DI Costello’ series leading on from ‘Game, Set and Murder’. DI Angela Costello is likeable, reliable and most definitely someone you would want on your side. There are suspects a plenty as the victim seems to have been clawing her way up both the career and society ladder. The clues are there but some remain at large until some way into the book, the investigation is thorough and it’s interesting to see DI Costello’s bloodhound nose at work. This is the perfect read if you don’t want anything too taxing and enjoy trying to solve a murder from the comfort of your sofa. ~ Liz Robinson
