When the Metropolitan Museum of Art invites retired fashion designer Dora Lee Griffen to a gala honoring the bold designers of the 1980s, she expects champagne, old friends, and a pleasant walk down memory lane. What she gets is murder.
Fashion historian Regina Thornwood has spent years researching a tell-all book about the industry's golden era. Her upcoming release has ruffled plenty of feathers, digging up old scandals and questioning long-held reputations. By the end of the evening, Regina is dead on the museum floor, and everyone Dora Lee shook hands with that night seems to have a reason to want her silenced.
A bitter designer dismissed as derivative. A photographer whose career Regina destroyed decades ago. A legendary mentor with secrets he'd rather stay buried. And somewhere in the shadows, Dora Lee's oldest friend Viola seems to know more than she's saying.
At seventy-eight, Dora Lee has perfected the art of appearing harmless. But beneath the gray hair and gracious smile lies a sharp mind that notices everything. With her Boston terrier mix Pippa by her side and a legal pad full of suspects, she's determined to find the truth before the killer decides that some legacies are better left buried.
In the fashion world, history is written by the survivors. And someone at that gala is willing to kill to control the narrative.
Chic Happens is the third book in the Royal Griffen Hotel Mystery Series, a cozy mystery featuring a seventy-eight-year-old amateur sleuth, her adorable dog, and the glamorous world of New York fashion.
