The thing I like about Lacey is that she's always reasonable and down-to-earth. She has some odd friends and co-workers, but she never acts like she is any different, even though she is. She is one of the most likable cozy heroines, someone that you really would want to be a friend. This installment of the series started off a little slow for me, there seemed to be a lot of set-up, but it all came together in the end for another great story.

Intrepid Washington DC fashion reporter Lacey Smithsonian is at it again! The holidays are over and Lacey's main man, Sean Victor "Vic" Donovan, is out of town at a conference. So Lacey decides to try her (well-manicured) hand in a PI course, hoping the experience will be help in moving her off the fashion beat and into "real" news. And she's not wrong. Things really heat up when a dead body is discovered in the parking lot on the first day of class. Lacey is stunned to recognize the victim as a recently divorced socialite that she just interviewed for a fashion feature But what was the woman doing there? And who might be the killer? Suspects are plentiful, from Lacey's arch-nemesis, Damon Newhouse, to the course instructor, and pretty-much all of her classmates. Clues are varied, and include mind-control conspiracies, fashionable art exhibits and a missing custom-made Louis Vuitton make-up case. I really enjoyed this story. All fo the usual cast members are here, with return appearances by Nigel Griffin, ex-KGB spy Kepelov and even Jasmine an Lily Rose. I know these books are considered cozies, but they are not as hokey as the flood of baking/pet/bookstore mysteries that abound today. These characters are smart, savvy and altogether fun.
