Gilt Trip

All that glitters isn't gold in Samantha Kidd's fourteenth mystery…

When Samantha Kidd's jewel of a husband, shoe designer Nick Taylor, is named a finalist for Designer of the Year at an industry function, Samantha sponsors a banquet table and invites close friends and family to the celebration. But by the time the night arrives, most of them aren't on speaking terms. Even romance with Nick suffers thanks to his dad's move into the couple's spare bedroom.

Before the cash bar closes, the toastmaster's body is found with a gilded knife in her chest. What should have been a golden evening becomes a 24-karat disaster, and brutal weather conditions keep the cops at bay. Locked in a ballroom with two hundred suspects and seven angry tablemates, Samantha's got just four hours to take a stab at solving the murder…before the murderer stabs again.

Gilt Trip is the fourteenth humorous and cozy Killer Fashion mystery. If you like witty protagonists, clever dialogue, and fashion-forward drama, then you'll love Diane Vallere's chic, humorous series.
