A Vintage Magic Mystery

review 1: Madeira who is nicknamed Maddie lives in Mystic Falls, Connecticut. Her most important goal for the year is to get her sister, Sherry's, wedding off to a great start. She is redoing the VanCourtland bridal gown which has come down through the family of Sherry's husband. Maddie will do a beautiful job because her passion is working with Vintage clothing.However, no one expects Justin's ex-girlfriend's body to show up dead before the wedding day. Strangled with the wedding veil?? Perhaps.I also enjoyed reading about the Vintage wedding gown, Bruges lace, etc. The solution to the mystery is amazingly romantic, tragic and challenging to figure out. The solution left me thinking of the beauty of family. I also left to think what is taken from us whether fairly or unfairly can n... moreever be regained. The time is gone.One other problem the slang "scrap" drove me nuts. It didn't roll off my tongue easily at least, not until the end of the novel. Now I'm ready for Annette Blair's next Vintage clothing cozy. When I see "scrap," I'll throw it off my tongue very easily. Looking forward to reading this whole cozy series. A Veiled Deception is definitely deceptive. I could have never put the pieces together. [...]
review 2: Madeira Cutler, NYC designer, comes home to assist planning her sister's wedding. At the engagement party and old girlfriend of the groom turns up dead, strangled with the bride-to-be's veil. This was an interesting mystery with the heroine on the cusp of making a career change. I found the basic story to be good, and the touches of psychometry (ability to discern something from contact with an object) when dealing with vintage clothing to be fun. However, the constant labeling of every person and event by the brand name labels associated with them was annoying, especially when it referred to everything; men's and women's clothing, accessories and even their perfumes. Just too much, dating the story, and unbelievable. less
