Murder Unmentionable (Sweet Nothings Book 1) Kindle Edition

by Meg London (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.1 4.1 out of 5 stars 55 ratings

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…

5.0 out of 5 stars This silky murder mystery slipped me into cozy joy!

I just finished reading MURDER UNMENTIONABLE (A Sweet Nothings Lingerie Mystery) by Meg London. This first book in the series was a delight! One of the best cozies I have read. A fast paced read that I enjoyed from the first page til the last. I fell in love with Emma, Aunt Arabella and the other fun characters of Paris, Tennessee. I found myself wanting to visit Sweet Nothings and get lost in all of the vintage lingerie and chat with the ladies. I can't wait for July for the second book in this series, LACED WITH POISON. If you're looking for a great cozy, you'll be thrilled with this one. Just remember to pour yourself a big cold glass of sweet tea to enjoy with it!

First of all, I want to make this very clear, I really liked this book. This was a debut in a brand new series and yes, I knew who had done the dastardly deed very early on, however, the motive wasn't clear to me and I enjoyed the journey learning it.

The characters were happy and you know what? That was a great change that I wish more writers would take. Not everyone comes from an unhappy marriage, childhood, or adulthood. Although our newest sleuth, Emma Taylor comes back to her childhood home to help her Aunt Arabella, nursing a bruised heart, she focuses upon the positive and not 'oh woe is me.' In fact Emma becomes interested in her Aunt's burgeoning romantic life. It gives her hope and Emma is able to see a 'new' possible romance in her own life with Brian, the brother of her best friend, Liz.

Emma, very naturally also focuses upon Arabella's lingerie shop, as that is why she is in Paris, TN in the first place. I was tickled that the shop did well.

The murder was a shock and the characters showed that feeling. Emma enlists the aid of her friends and family to solve the crime. She is not a Pollyanna but has, perhaps, a naive outlook towards people.

I really look forward to Ms. London filling out her characters and what situations they will next find themselves in.

3.0 out of 5 stars Could the heroine be any dumber?
Reviewed in the United States on September 25, 2012
I liked the setting and the characters. However, the murderer practically had a stamp across their forehead that said, "I DID IT", and she still couldn't figure it out. I knew as soon as that character opened their mouth. That is my complaint.....give us a little challenge and make the main character a little smarter, please!

Loved everything about this book. The town, characters and story were charming. I hope the author will have great success with this series. It was not difficult to guess the identity of the killer. But the colorful personalities and storytelling made that detail easy to live with. The author owns a Westie (my favorite dog breed). Maybe a Westie could be added to her future books. If you are looking for a warm and cozy read, then this book is for you.

I really enjoyed this first in a series and can hardly wait for next book.
Although I knew or figured out who did the murders before it was told, I enjoyed
the way all the Paris, people came together and the description of the shops and
relations to each other...makes you want to experience small town friendships..
I can see that this could be another series for cozy mystery readers to enjoy.
So if you want an easy read and cozy mystery this book is for you....

When her ex-boyfriend follows her to Paris, little did Emma know it would be the last time she sees him and in the same breathe accused of his murder. To clear her name and reputation, Emma and her friends will need to undress a killer before Emma is hung up to dry.

I like it. Mix an entertaining whodunit, some laughs and a little bit of romance and you got the makings of a great debut series. This was an enjoyable mystery that I could not put down. The writing flowed easily with crisp dialogue and a fun setting. With a great cast of characters from likable Emma, gentle Aunt Arabella, snarky Sylvia, best friend Liz and handsome Brian, this lighthearted and charming story is a welcome addition to the cozy genre and I can't wait for the next happenings in Paris Tennessee.

This is my first time reading Meg London. I liked the story line and the characters and the setting. Howver, I knew who did it as soon as the character was introduced and keep yelling at the main characters in the book to tell them who did it. The red herrings they put in the book to stear you away from the killer was very bad. What I liked about the book was learning about vintage underclothing. I never new there was a market out there for these things and will pay more attention when I go to the thrift stores and yard sales. I hope her next book is better.
