    About this series

    Planning fashionable Hollywood parties is her bag-along with solving murders: "An unlikely but engaging sleuth." -Publishers Weekly

    Fashionista and part-time sleuth Haley Randolph has landed her ticket to ride: a job planning events for big-deal Hollywood clients. But her nasty new boss sets her up for disaster by assigning her a hugely complicated Beatles-themed bash. On her way to check out the party's custom yellow submarine cake, Haley finds the baker lying in a pool of blood-here, there, and everywhere! And of course the police are eyeing her as the murderer . . .

    With a suspect list that leads down a very long and winding road, Haley will be working at least eight days a week to keep herself out of those awful blue prison outfits-while tracking down the season's hottest bag: the Enchantress. But a cunning killer may be much closer than she thinks!

Fashion sleuth Haley Randolph is back for another murderous romp with the stylish set at Holt's Department Store . . .

      Fashion can be fatal: "The action is smoother than the butter-soft leather of a Prada bag, and the gritty details of working retail are spot-on." -Publishers Weekly Life is almost perfect for fashionista and amateur sleuth Haley Randolph. She just vacationed in Europe with her boyfriend Ty Cameron, owner of Holt's Department Store. And now Ty's grandmother is letting Haley drive her Mercedes. If only Haley could get her hands on the new Sinful handbag. It's totally out of stock, and Haley would rather die than buy a knockoff. But when she finds the body of her designer purse party rival, Tiffany Markham, in the trunk of the Mercedes, she's not so sure she wants to trade places after all . . . Topping the list of suspects, Haley doesn't deny seeing red when Tiffany stole her purse party idea-and made more money. But she wasn't jealous enough to commit murder. Now she'll have to solve this mystery quickly-and find that Sinful bag-before she becomes a killer's next fashion fatality . . .

Life is looking good for amateur sleuth/professional fashionista Haley Randolph. She's even close to getting her hands on the Delicious, the season's hottest purse-until she's hit with a curse from an irate customer at Holt's department store. When things start to go really wrong, Haley transfers to the new store near Las Vegas-and promptly finds the body of Courtney Collins, an old classmate, sprawled across the floor of the menswear department.

      A fashion-obsessed sleuth must solve a murder as she starts a new executive career-and try to resist abusing her corporate credit card . . . Just because Haley lacks the right qualifications for her new position as corporate events coordinator doesn't mean she murdered her company's chief of security. Nothing about her fashion sense screams deadly killer, but she'll need to shop around on her own for some guilt-proof clues to prove the police are looking in the wrong bag. Especially since some of the other recent hires at the company also have something to hide . . . Between her many investigations, the new high-pressure job, and her just-moved-in boyfriend, there's almost no time for the most important thing in Haley's life: maxing out her credit card. If she's going to catch a killer, she'll need to be on her toes-heels and all-or she'll be this season's hottest victim . . .
