Cousins Scarlett Parker and Vivian Tremont's fashionable London hat shop, Mim's Whims, is visited by a new customer bearing an old hat box. Ariana Jackson is getting married and wants to restore her mother's bridal hat and veil for the occasion. The elegant item was made by Scarlett and Vivian's grandmother over thirty years ago, so Viv is delighted to take the job.



When Scarlett goes to Ariana's office to consult about the restoration cost, she finds her outside, standing over her boss's dead body. Though Ariana claims to know nothing about his demise, the investigation unveils a motive for murder. Now, with the bride-to-be in custody and the wedding on hold, Scarlett and Viv must find the real killer before Ariana's future is boxed up for good.

A true Anglophile, New York Times bestselling author Jenn McKinlay loves all things British. In her idea of a perfect world, every day would include high tea or wearing a fabulous hat, or both. This adoration of all things U.K. inspired her to write the Hat Shop Mysteries, which are set in London, one of her favorite cities in the world. She now gets to visit there regularly-for research purposes, of course. In addition to being the author of the Hat Shop Mysteries, including Copy Cap Murder and At the Drop of a Hat, Jenn also writes the Cupcake Bakery Mysteries and the Library Lover's Mysteries.

A native New Englander, Karyn O'Bryant is a graduate of the American Academy of Dramatic Arts and also has a degree in English literature. She combines these two disciplines in her audiobook narration, where she gets to play with her many voices and dialects. Among her audiobooks are The Mote in Andrea's Eye by David Niall Wilson, The Map of Lost Memories by Kim Fay, and Desire by Amy Wallace. Karyn has several television appearances to her credit, as well as over twenty-five years of experience in stage productions in New England, Germany, and Los Angeles, where she currently resides.
