Crime of Fashion

review 1: I have always enjoyed Ellen Byerrum's Lacey Smithsonian fashion series. I liked the humor and the Washington DC setting. Byerrum took a break from the series so I was glad to see she had published this 6th volume. It wasn't spectacular. Yes, it had all the great characters and the history of velvet manufacturing was interesting but the mystery was only so-so. I guess I expected more after Byerrum's break which she says on her website she took so she could keep the series fresh.
review 2: This is the first Crime of Fashion that I've read and I'm happy I started with in because in looking at the reviews, this seems to be the worst of the series.Aside from the cheesy character names and some of their over-the-top personalities (uhhh - Stella, anyone?). this w... moreas a cute little murder mystery that I enjoyed curling up with. At first, the names drove me nuts but then they started to amuse me, which I hope was the author's goal. I'll definitely be reading the others in this series. less
