Murder on the Runway: Fashion Week at Castlewood Manor
Book #8, My American Almost-Royal Cousin Series
The Fashions of Castlewood Manor make their London Fashion Week debut this season as fashionistas from around the globe gather around the runways to see and be seen. The dueling designers bring their couture creations to life as scheming models vie for the top spots on the runway, all carefully approved by a ruthless queen of fashion.
As the dates grow near for the fashion forward events, chaos on the catwalks, deadly mishaps, family squabbles, revenge, and couture sabotage run rampant, placing Lady Gemma and her family and friends in perilous danger.
The ateliers are clambering to break the rules with their avant-garde creations.
Who will end up with this season’s fashion to die for, and whose vogue designs will end up in the morgue?
"The secret of getting ahead is getting started."
Dame Agatha Christie
