The outrageous pink coat that Nora Blackbird is wearing on the front cover of this book really sets the tone perfectly for this hilarious romp. "Cross Your Heart and Hope to Die" is all about an innovative new bra design, Nora Blackbird's continuing struggle to make ends meet and make her relationship work with her boyfriend Mick Abbruzzo, and, oh yes, the murder of Nora's boss, the newspaper's high society editor Kitty Keough. The books in this series keep getting better!

This one was great. Even though you know who the vilian is, it is always fun watching Nora and her friends snag him/her.

Impoverished Philadelphia aristocrat Nora Blackbird, her two wacky sisters, a collection of odd-ball friends, and the handsome mysterious son of a Mafia don all embark on a wonderful series of adventures in solving murder cases. Nora does this in great style, having inherited all the haute couture clothing of her grandmother. Great fun, and VERY romantic!

In this fourth book in the Blackbird Sisters series, Nancy Martin keeps the fresh situations coming. The sisters are quirky and funny as ever, and Nora's fledgling career at the newspaper takes a major step forward in this tale of fashion (a new high-tech bra takes the fashion world by storm: Tempest in a C Cup, it says on the back cover), murder, high finance, and other odd bits thrown in. I loved it.
