About the book
Being the fashion designer for London's elite, she possessed a keen attention to detail and a knack for the dramatic. However, the brutal murder of someone so stylish is indeed a shocking tragedy.
With the upcoming social season approaching, Cleo's family is getting their new outfits tailored by the most in-demand designer in the city. Madame Poitiers, despite her bold and self-absorbed nature, is not actually French as she claims.
Upon discovering Madame's lifeless body in the salon, Cleo finds herself in a unique position to investigate and interview witnesses. The surprise of finding private detective Harry Armitage's business card in the victim's possession raises questions about his connection to the case and his reluctance to engage with Cleo.
As Cleo delves deeper into uncovering Madame Poitiers' hidden secrets, she begins to unravel the truth behind the murder. Which of the secrets ultimately led to her demise? And which of the suspects transformed the famed fashion icon into a tragic fashion victim?
