Learn moreFabric shop owner Polyester Monroe is back in business—this time getting wrapped up in a diabolical but crafty case of murder.
With the reopening of her fabric shop rapidly approaching, Polyester Monroe is stocking up on lush fabrics, colorful notions, and best of all, a proprietary weave of velvet. But upon delivery, it's not quite the blend she expected, being ninety-percent silk—and ten-percent corpse. Crushed under a dozen bolts of fabric is local business owner Phil Girard. His wife, Genevieve, local tea shop owner and close friend of Poly, is the prime suspect.
Granted, Phil may not have been the perfect husband, but surely Genevieve had no reason to kill him! There's just the small matter of Genevieve's own incriminating confession: I'm afraid I killed my husband. Now, as the grand opening looms, Poly is torn between a friendship pulling apart at the seams—and finding a smooth killer with a velvet touch . . .
Nationally bestselling author Diane Vallere writes smart, funny, and fashionable character-based mysteries. After two decades working for a top luxury retailer, she traded fashion accessories for accessories to murder. A past president of Sisters in Crime, Diane started her own detective agency at age ten and has maintained a passion for shoes, clues, and clothes ever since.
Darcey Rhoads is a Los Angeles-based American actor with uncanny comedic timing and a genuine love for the art of storytelling. Known best as that redhead girl who kept showing up on Joseph Gordon-Levitt's variety show, HitRecord, on Netflix, Darcey has appeared in numerous indie films and side projects that she has written and coproduced with her production team Mixed Nuts. Her voice has been described as droll, youthful, relatable, and maybe a tiny bit sarcastic. Darcey loves bringing YA stories to life, especially if there is a fantasy or science fiction element, and she has a soft spot for complicated, often misunderstood but highly redeemable characters. She is also a huge fan of fantasy/sci-fi, gamelit, romantic comedies, and dark humor. Outside of actor life, Darcey is basically a giant nerd-she loves gaming (console, board, D&D-you name it, she'll probably play it), is an avid pop culture know-it-all, and mother of cats . . . well, cat. She'll have her army of cats one day.
