Della Wright is thrilled
when Bunny Boyd, celebrity interior designer and reality star,
wants to place a huge order for custom woven fabric. As the
owner of Dream Weaver, Della can use all the business she
can get. Bunny invites Della and her friends to a cocktail
party at Bernard Whitby’s mansion. This way Della can
tour the rooms and then have an idea of just what Bunny is
looking for in fabrics.
At the
party, there is a mix-up with the ladies’ clutches and
Della ends up going home with Rhonda McDermott’s purse.
Rhonda calls her and makes plans to exchange purses the next
morning at Coffee Break, the shop Rhonda owns with her husband,
Phillip. Della arrives and the store lights are off. The door
is open and Della heads inside. Rhonda hears her calling out
and comes into the store.
She then
finds her very dead husband behind the counter. When Jenny,
Della’s BFF, becomes a person of interest, Della can’t
help but get involved. Della had better be very careful investigating
this murder or she could end up entwined in the murderer’s
web.
Things
to ponder: Why doesn’t Rhonda McDermott get along with
Emma Blanchard? Who called in the tip about seeing Jenny near
Coffee Break at the time of the murder? Was Phillip McDermott
having an affair?
This
second book in the Weaving Mystery series knocks it out of
the park. There are plenty of twists and turns to keep you
guessing whodunit. I enjoy the cast of quirky characters that
are Della’s friends and neighbors. The plotting is stellar.
This was a fast read for me. The author has included some
weaving tips.
So if
you like your mystery with a crafty touch, then you should
be reading Tapestry of Lies.
