When fashion columnist Lacey Smithsonian learns that a new fashion museum will soon grace decidedly unfashionable D.C., it's more than a good story-it's a chance to show off her vintage Hugh Bentley suit.

Continuation of fashion writer mysteries with amusing fashion column breaks. Sound writing and characterization and an appealing nod to vintage clothes ( I am not a clothes person myself but the author's interest and love for the subject comes across in a good way). Not too hard, not too romantic and interesting with some humor. A good solid intrepid reporter/mystery type which is worth dipping into to see if it is your cup of tea.

Designer Knockoff, book 2 in the Crimes of Fashion cozy mystery series is even better than the first. When an employee of the Bentley fashion mogul turns up dead, the clues lead to a sixty year old missing persons case, that hits close to home for Lacy.
I thought the mystery was better than the first book. The fact that there were two mysteries going on kept you guessing that much more. I also thought that the motives seemed more believable. I could envision murders like this really taking place.

I am enjoying this series. A lot of fun. The internal "Fashion Bites" are great!

In this one Lacey covers a fashion museum opening in Washington D.C. She wears her vintage Hugh Bentley suit left to her by her Aunt Mimi. It is recognized by the designer, which pulls Lacey into a new mystery. There is a missing intern, and a disappearance from her Aunt's day. Can they be related? And what about the robbery of the Bentley's boutique? And what about Vic and their relationship! Of course we also find Stella in this one. And meet Miguel.
