A Story by

 
 
A women sleuths cozy mystery set in a small town where secrets are as carefully tucked away as a vintage designer gown.
When a beloved town hall fundraiser takes a shocking turn and an expensive donated antique dress disappears from the staging room,
dressmaker Maribel Hart and her three sharp-eyed amateur sleuth friends are swept into a puzzling mystery.

Then Maribel notices something strange: a key tucked into the seam of a similar dress. The key seems to link the vanished gown to a secret someone in town has gone to great lengths to keep buried. But before she can dig deeper, the event organizer is found dead. Whispers of blackmail, old debts, and long-buried grudges are turning a festive fundraiser into a deadly game.

With
Maribel’s clever cat Snowdrift guiding them to the hall’s overlooked corners, the four amateur sleuths dig through guest lists, donation records, and long-buried small-town secrets. Their search uncovers a murder mystery tangled in a decades-old scandal, a former sweetheart, a missing inheritance, and a clue hiding in plain sight. All of them seem to be connected to the elegant six pleat dress that vanished without a trace.

Perfect for readers who love women sleuths, small town whodunits, smart animal helpers, hidden clues, and cozy mysteries.
