Publisher Description
Sweet Nothings has it all: silk ribbon, Venetian lace, the best bra fitter in town…
and two unsolved murders.
Emma Taylor thought she knew what to expect when she abandoned life as a big-city fashionista to help her aunt, Arabella, breathe new style into Sweet Nothings, her waning lingerie boutique. As Emma settles back in to Paris, Tennessee—a world where pie is served with a parable and a pitcher of sweet tea is the cure for most of life’s ills—her escape seems smooth as silk.
But when the town acquires a touch of unneeded je ne sais quoi with the arrival of Emma’s philandering ex, an unseemly murder turns her world inside out. As the police’s top suspect, Emma is going to need more than fishnets to snare the real killer. And when she and Arabella refuse to let death threats wrapped in knifed nighties stall Sweet Nothings’ vintage lingerie fashion show, it becomes increasingly clear that any garter may hide a gun and that bullet bras might have to live up to their name…
Customer Reviews
Naive and simplistic, but a good start
Not a bad beginning to a new series, but I found the author's explanations of things pretty sophomoric - is a character from New York City really supposed to be impressed that someone in a shop carries an authentic Louis Vuitton handbag? Or that green tea is not readily available at a coffee/tea shop?
The writer also used exclamation points liberally where they aren't needed and are really used to state an opinion, which my high school creative writing teacher would have frowned upon.
The book/plot was interesting and easy to read - maybe since this is the first book in the series, the author will get a bit more worldly? Let's hope so.
