You don’t want to know anything about her former life in Florida, which is a good achievement by the author as you are already completely absorbed into her new life in the hat shop. The concept of a transplant from southern US to London, where she once visited, is a good one. Characters are well drawn, quite humorous on many occasions. Scarlett is very likable, as are many of the other characters supporting her into the hat shop-owning foray. She decides to investigate several customers who had a connection to the late woman and learns their is a lot of adultery going on in London! But she of course escapes with only a few bruises, eventually finding her cousin back from a trip to Africa on a mysterious mission. What happened? Scarlett is later almost strangled and then the hat shop is robbed. When she delivers a hat to a difficult client, Scarlett finds the woman has been stabbed to death and is naked on the floor. Scarlett later recalls meeting “Harry” over seventeen years ago, but their relationship has definitely changed this time around. When she arrives, her cousin has disappeared and sent the business manager, a handsome Harrison, in her place. The Hat Shop series has potential and I look forward to learning more as I travel through the remainder.Īfter a disastrous relationship awkwardly made public, Scarlett takes up her cousin’s offer and moves to London to help manage their jointly owned inheritance, a hat shop from their late grandmother.
I’m fond of the author’s other series (Library Lovers) and bought her first issues of all other series. Is Scarlett's cousin in trouble? Or is she in hiding?Ī witty and engaging mystery perfect for fans of Ellery Adams and Kate Carlisle.My rating: 4 of 5 stars to Jenn McKinlay‘s Cloche and Dagger, the first in the “Hat Shop Mystery” series. No one is too concerned about the unpredictable Viv until one of her posh clients is found dead wearing the cloche hat Viv made for her – and nothing else. Second, Viv – who has some whims of her own – seems to be missing. First, she is met at the airport not by Viv, but by her handsome business manager, Harrison Wentworth. Viv is the proprietor of Mims's Whims, a ladies' hat shop on Portobello Road bequeathed to both cousins by their beloved grandmother, and she wants Scarlett to finally join her in the millinery business.īut a few surprises await Scarlett in London. So when Viv suggests Scarlett leave Florida to lay low in London, she hops on the next plane across the pond.
Not only is Scarlett Parker’s love life in the loo – as her British cousin Vivian Tremont would say – it's also gone viral with an embarrassing video.
