'The Sequinned Cape' by Millie Ravensworth is the third in the series and this time Penny and Izzy find themselves solving a murder much closer to home - their bathroom to be exact. When a woman's body is found sitting on their toilet the pair must find out how on earth she got into their locked premises in the first place. And find how she ended up dead on the loo. Meanwhile making fancy dress costumes for Nanna's upcoming 80th birthday keeps their minds off the tragedy for a while. As they investigate they rush to uncover the truth before anyone else dies.
The story was well written and a joy to read. It was funny and light-hearted in all the right places, with the cosy mystery feel I've come to expect.
I found it a happy read. It was a lovely way to while away a few hours, in the knowledge that everything always works out in the end. I love the dress-making and crafting theme. Having had no knowledge or interest in dressmaking in the past, I find myself intrigued by it now. I love following the process Penny and Izzy go through in creating a masterpiece. This time it's an Elvis cape and jumpsuit.
This series is fast becoming a big favourite of mine.
I was given this Arc to review.
