Purses and Poison

Fashion sleuth Haley Randolph is back for another murderous romp with the stylish set at Holt's Department Store. . .When Haley arrives at the Holt employee luncheon and fashion show, she spies a sick server hiding in a back room. Deciding to help out, Haley grabs a uniform. The catered array of food and personalized fruit bouquets from Edible Elegance is a hit until top fashion model Claudia Gray is found dead in the ladies room. Now, it's going to take more than a Chanel sample sale to ease Haley's panic once she learns Claudia's been poisoned. For someone thinks murder is the height of fashion–with Haley's name on the label. «A quick read with lots of humor.» – Booklist "A solid mystery." – Publishers Weekly "Haley Randolph is a hoot. There is no way to get through Howell's latest without laughing out loud at least once a chapter." – Romantic Times "A treat for those with a passion for fashion. No doubt this sassy heroine's in for a long run." – Kirkus Reviews
