About this ebook
Former Manhattan fashion buyer Kelly Quinn is turning her grandmother’s outdated consignment shop into her quaint hometown’s hot spot for upscale style—until her second-hand couture makes the scene of an ice-cold crime . . .
With her bottom line looking a little threadbare, Kelly is going all out to promote the Lucky Cove Resale Boutique. She’s counting on Black Friday to recover her start-up expenses—including a website and an advertising blitz. But the publicity is overkill when two warring divas, and one sparkly evening dress, thrust Kelly and her fledgling business into a scandal she can’t afford.
The gorgeous garment came to Kelly from the walk-in closets of Wendy Johnson, one of reality TV’s Long Island Ladies. When Wendy’s former co-star, Diana Delacourte, graces a Christmas gala in the dress that was once her rival’s, a very public catfight ensues. But is Wendy to blame when sequin-clad Diana turns up dead? Dodging the show’s ever-present cameras—and a detective’s stern warnings—Kelly hunts for a killer before the powerful celebrity-suspect makes good on her threats and rips her to shreds . . .

I love the idea of the Resale Boutique and would in fact enjoy spending a bit more time there, in person would be great. The mystery in Silenced in Sequins is well develop with lots of reasonable suspects; I did not figure out the murderer and suspected several people. While the Christmas touch is less than I like, that is common in series mysteries so it was not less than I expected. I do believe that Kelly needs to get her head in the game more as far at the shop is concerned, but I see that as lessons she can learn as she goes. I just hope they are not too expensive. She brings solid knowledge and a great fashion sense, but that still leaves her short on the retail knowledge that will make the difference in success for failure. Debra Sennefelder has once again created a character that I am not in 100% agreement with, but I am drawn to care for her and want her to succeed. That is what I need in a character. I enjoy most of the secondary characters and like that we have already seen some shift in the dynamics. Keep it up, Ms. Sennefelder. I am a fan! I was thrilled to be approved for a NetGalley ARC of Silenced in Sequins because I have been so drawn to the books in both series. This one another is a winner. #NetGalley #Silenced in Sequins

cozy-mystery, actors, TV-film-industry, family-dynamics,, High fashion and TV meets resale boutique, family issues, and murder in a high rent area of Long Island. If any of these things trip your trigger you'll love this well written cozy. Plenty of plot twists and red herrings to prove keep interest. I requested and received a free ebook copy from Lyrical Underground/Kensington Books via NetGalley.
