Former Manhattan fashion buyer Kelly Quinn is turning her grandmother's outdated consignment shop into her quaint hometown's hot spot for upscale style-until her second-hand couture makes the scene of an ice-cold crime . . .
With her bottom line looking a little threadbare, Kelly is going all out to promote the Lucky Cove Resale Boutique. She's counting on Black Friday to recover her start-up expenses-including a website and an advertising blitz. But the publicity is overkill when two warring divas, and one sparkly evening dress, thrust Kelly and her fledgling business into a scandal she can't afford.
The gorgeous garment came to Kelly from the walk-in closets of Wendy Johnson, one of reality TV's Long Island Ladies. When Wendy's former co-star, Diana Delacourte, graces a Christmas gala in the dress that was once her rival's, a very public catfight ensues. But is Wendy to blame when sequin-clad Diana turns up dead? Dodging the show's ever-present cameras-and a detective's stern warnings-Kelly hunts for a killer before the powerful celebrity-suspect makes good on her threats and rips her to shreds . . .
