Murder a la mode

No ratings yet

It's the night before the spring Paris fashion issue, and the staff of "Style" magazine is in the annual frantic rush to get it put to bed. Tempers are high, nerves are taut, and in the middle of it all someone manages to get very inconveniently murdered. Was the killer that charmingly lecherous photographer? The too-sleek editress with her secret private life? The brilliant, erratic young dressmaker who may have pinched someone else's designs? Or the beautiful and ruthless fashion writer with her sights set squarely on the top job? It gets a bit too personal for Inspector Henry Tibbett when his wife's niece, a rising model, decides to help the police by doing what she blithely believes to be some clandestine sleuthing and winds up with her pretty little neck on the line.
