BOOK TOUR
I'm so happy to be a stop on the
blog tour for author
Diane Vallere
and her new book
SILK STALKINGS
Book 3 in the Material Witness Mysteries
Fabric shop owner Polyester Monroe can get tangled up in textiles, but it’s murder that really throws her for a loop in the latest mystery from the national bestselling author of Crushed Velvet.
The time has come for San LadrĂ³n, California’s annual Miss Tangorli beauty pageant, and Poly has agreed to use Material Girl’s inventory of shimmery silks to create embellished gowns fit for a crown. But when millionaire Harvey Halliwell—the man who revived the city’s citrus trade with his imported tangorli tree—is found dead days before the pageant contestants are announced, something sour takes over the town.
To make matters worse, her friend, mechanic Charlie Brooks, is soon caught up in the crime, having been seen in the company of the case’s prime suspect. Now Poly’s on a mission to squeeze out the truth. But as she searches for a pattern, the killer seems intent on cutting up the evidence...

MY REVIEW
Anyone who thinks polyester is out of style has never met
Polyester Monroe!
I had so much fun reading the first two books in the
Material Witness Mysteries, so I was really looking forward to book three, SILK
STALKINGS. It was totally worth the wait!
It’s hard to not have a great time with characters like
series lead, Polyester “Poly” Monroe, and her BFF Charlie Brooks. Charlie is
such a fun and unique character. I always laugh at the things she says and
does.
SILK STALKINGS is 275 pages (if you read the print copy) of
mystery, mayhem, action, and fun. The fantastic storyline makes for a fast and
entertaining read. I didn’t want to put
it down. Author Diane Vallere really knows how to write ‘em!
Check out the back of the
book for a fun craft project, and read the excerpt of A DISGUISE TO DIE FOR,
book one in the Costume Shop Mysteries, also by Diane Vallere!
