Produktbeschreibung

Sweatergate, a deadly assault with a giant candy cane, and a chance encounter with a homeless child in a stolen shepherd's robe send Lacey Smithsonian on an unlikely Christmas quest in Grave Apparel, the fifth book in Ellen Byerrum's Crime of Fashion Mysteries. Christmas time in Washington, D.C. is a magical, glittering time of year in Our Nation's Capital, filled with lights, seasonal concerts, and parties. But this Christmas, fashion reporter Smithsonian is caught up in "Sweatergate," a tragicomic clash over garish holiday sweaters; the paper's food editor, Felicity Pickles, is unexpectedly not baking her usual seasonal treats for the whole office; everyone seems to be mad at everyone else; and Lacey is getting all the blame. She's being accused far and wide of ruining Christmas! So when the staff pain-in-the-neck is brutally assaulted in the alley behind the office with a giant candy cane and later found wrapped in a hideous Christmas sweater, it falls to Lacey to solve the crime. The Little Shepherd offers Lacey a window into the tragic flip side to the holiday season: no room at the inn for the cold, the hungry, and the homeless. Enlisting the help of everyone from her beau Vic Donovan to her curmudgeonly editor Douglas MacArthur Jones, Smithsonian searches the snowy alleys of D.C. on a rescue mission to keep a killer from ruining Christmas.

Autorenporträt

Ellen Byerrum is a novelist, a playwright, a reporter, a former Washington, D.C., journalist, and a graduate of private investigator school in Virginia. Her Crime of Fashion Mystery series features a savvy, stylish female sleuth named Lacey Smithsonian, a reluctant fashion reporter who solves crimes with fashion clues. The series is set in Washington D.C., which Smithsonian lovingly refers to as "The City That Fashion Forgot."

Publisher's Weekly has called Byerrum's writing "as smooth as fine-grade cashmere."

In addition to mysteries, Byerrum has also produced her first suspense thriller, The Woman in the Dollhouse. It introduces us to a young woman, Tennyson Claxton, whose mind holds the mingled memories of two very different women. Best Thrillers calls this page turner "an ingeniously crafted psychological thriller that bewitches on page one and continues to mesmerize until its shocking conclusion." Byerrum anticipates exploring Tennyson's continuing odyssey in a future novel.
