Silenced in Sequins (Resale Boutique Mystery, #2)

by Debra Sennefelder

Former Manhattan fashion buyer Kelly Quinn is turning her grandmother’s outdated consignment shop into her quaint hometown’s hot spot for upscale style—until her second-hand couture makes the scene of an ice-cold crime...



With her bottom line looking a little threadbare, Kelly is going all out to promote the Lucky Cove Resale Boutique. She’s counting on Black Friday to recover her start-up expenses—including a website and an advertising blitz. But the publicity is overkill when two warring divas, and one sparkly evening dress, thrust Kelly and her fledgling business into a scandal she can’t afford.



The gorgeous garment came to Kelly from the walk-in closets of Wendy Johnson, one of reality TV’s Long Island Ladies. When Wendy’s former co-star, Diana Delacourte, graces a Christmas gala in the dress that was once her rival’s, a very public catfight ensues. But is Wendy to blame when sequin-clad Diana turns up dead? Dodging the show’s ever-present cameras—and a detective’s stern warnings—Kelly hunts for a killer before the powerful celebrity-suspect makes good on her threats and rips her to shreds...

Reviews

[Baroness Book Trove]

I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy from the Great Escapes Book Tours. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.Silenced in Sequins by Debra Sennefelder is about a new boutique owner trying to make her deceased grandma proud.

A reality star, a jealous actress, a dead body, and a murder on the loose? It sounds like Kelly Quinn is in trouble. 

Kelly Quinn

Kelly Quinn is our sleuth, main character, and boutique owner. She is trying to make her grandma proud by making the shop her own and profitable. The one problem is her pesky uncle wanting to sell and news that she doesn't want to hear about while going through Granny's things. Kelly is a very stubborn young lady and is very fashion-forward. I wouldn't mind being friends with her...except for when she is making promises to Wendy about trying to figure out who killed Diana.

The Mystery

Kelly was going to Diana's place to smooth over things that happened at her uncle's party, but instead, she finds Diana dead. Now Kelly is trying so hard to please everyone while trying not to get too involved in solving the mystery. I didn't figure it out until after all the evidence was put in front of me, and then it all made sense. So, pay attention to the clues, they are there.

Five Stars for Silenced in Sequins by Debra Sennefelder

Silenced in Sequins by Debra Sennefelder is an entertaining read that will keep you guessing from the first moment you open the book. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time while trying to figure out who had enough motive. I thought it was two of the red herrings instead of who did it. They just never crossed my mind.

I am giving this book a five-star rating and recommending it to all the cozy mystery fans out there. Especially for fashionistas.
