Murder in the Window Display
(2026)(Book 14 in the Massachusetts Cozy Mystery series)
A novel by Andrea Kress
1930s Boston spring fashions are to die for.
When a talented dressmaker discovers her original designs being sold as cheap knockoffs at Whitaker's Department Store, she turns to her sister for help. But before they can uncover who is stealing the designs, the investigation takes an unexpected turn. The young salesgirl who modeled one of the stolen dresses in the store's spring window display is found the next morning—posed lifeless among the mannequins.
As the sisters follow the thread of the stolen designs, they unravel a web of greed and desperation stretching from the elegant sales floor to the sweatshops of Boston's garment district. With a detective in the family leading the official case, the women pursue their own quiet investigation into the world behind the counter. In a city where the Depression is pushing people to their limits, the truth may be stitched into secrets no one wants exposed.
