In the third book in the Sweet Nothings Lingerie Mysteries, Emma Taylor is settling into life in Paris, Tennessee. She’s in a relationship with Brian, who helps his father at their hardware store and is starting his own renovation business, and enjoying working with her Aunt Arabella at Sweet Nothing Lingerie Store. However it all unravels when a former beau walks into the store and sends Arabella into a spin. What begins as an invitation to a lavish dinner ends in murder, with Arabella as the prime suspect!! Once again, Emma and her friends must play sleuth and try and clear Arabella’s name!
Using the word “Sweet” in this mystery series is perfect because everything about Paris, Tennessee is sweet. From the adorable lingerie store to the delicious cupcakes they bring in for their “Valentines Day” shopping events and even Arabella’s French Bulldog, Pierre, everything is sweetness and love. I find slipping amongst the pages of these mysteries as easy as curling up in my favourite reading chair. The only difference is that I don’t have a nice glass of Tennessee tea, or Arabella’s famous fried chicken!!
Alike to the other two books in this series, A Fatal Slip completely lived up to my expectation. Meg London always delivers a stunning mystery and this one is no exception. Emma goes to work part-time at the Granger’s to catalogue their art collection. Of course it’s the perfect place to snoop into the mysterious death of Hugh Granger, art extraordinaire and Arabella’s ex-love. I found all the tidbits about the art world very fascinating – especially as the author gives us a little lesson in art history as well!
All in all a stunning instalment in a series that I’ve grown to love with each new mystery! I can’t wait for more books in this series to be published, and in the meantime I plan to read the Gourmet De-Lite Mysteries (published under Peg Cochran).
