| Paris,
Tennessee is home to Emma Taylor, who left her life in New
York after her heart was broken by a cheating boyfriend. Emma
works with her beloved aunt Arabella at Arabella’s lingerie
shop, Sweet Nothings. When a Valentine’s Day event at
the shop, designed for men only to shop for gifts for their
girlfriends and wives, draws an old flame of Arabella’s
to Sweet Nothings, trouble ensues.
Hugh
Granger is a wealthy art dealer, and he makes it a point to
invite Arabella and Emma to a lavish dinner dance he is hosting
at the Beauchamp Hotel and Spa. The purpose is to celebrate
his birthday and his return to Paris. Arabella does not want
to go as she still harbors bad feelings about how their relationship
ended, but she gives in and they attend along with Arabella’s
gentleman friend Francis, and Emma’s boyfriend, Brian.
Hugh
is shot and killed during the party, and it seems that Arabella
is a prime suspect. When Emma’s mother, Priscilla, comes
to visit she is determined that she and Emma will work to
clear Arabella’s good name and unmask the real killer.
A
Fatal Slip is a fast and fun read. The story moves along
at a good clip and I was surprised to discover I’d read
the first one hundred pages in one sitting. The Sweet Nothings
Lingerie series is engaging, featuring well-rounded characters,
adorable dogs, romance, mystery, humor, and shopping! Curl
up on your sofa wearing your prettiest peignoir set, trade
in those fuzzy slippers for sexy heeled slippers, pour a glass
of wine or a cup of tea, and enjoy getting to know more about
Emma, Arabella, and Paris, Tennessee.

books in the series are Murder
