Gilt Trip

A glamorous night. A locked ballroom. And nowhere to hide when everything goes wrong.

When shoe designer Nick Taylor is named a finalist for a prestigious industry award, Samantha Kidd goes all out—sponsoring a banquet table and inviting her closest friends and family to celebrate. But by the time the glittering evening arrives, tensions are running high. Old misunderstandings surface, tempers flare, and every one of Samantha's seven tablemates has a reason to be upset with her.

Before the cash bar closes, the toastmaster is found dead—stabbed with a gilded knife.

A brutal storm traps the guests inside the ballroom and keeps the police from reaching the scene. With hundreds of attendees locked inside and emotions running hot, Samantha must investigate while managing damaged friendships, rising panic, and a rapidly closing window of time.

She has four hours to uncover the truth—before the killer strikes again.

Gilt Trip is the fourteenth mystery in the Killer Fashion Mysteries. Perfect for readers who love glamorous locked-room settings, fractured friendships, and a race against time where celebration turns deadly.
