This book spent a lot of time going no where. I could not figure out "who done it" right away but after awhile I really didn't care. It jumped all over the place and after two tries at finishing it i gave up.

When I'd first returned home to Bliss, Texas, I thought my hometown would be just as peaceful as it was when I was a little girl.
This is the fourth book in the Magical Dressmaking Mystery series. Harlow is busy working on her mother's wedding dress and finalizing her collection for an upcoming magazine spread when her old roommate Orphie shows up unexpectedly. Orphie is in Bliss to confess a transgression regarding their former employer and gets caught up in the whirlwind of the designers involved in the article. A particularly obnoxious designer dies in Harlow's shop and everyone becomes a suspect.
This is one of my favorite series. I love the continued storyline of the "charms" passed down to the Cassidy women from Butch Cassidy. Harlow's great-grandmother haunts the house Harlow inherited from her. Her grandmother has a way with animals especially goats. Her mother has a serious green thumb. Harlow can picture an outfit that is perfect for someone. And now Gracie, Harlow's boyfriend's daughter and distant cousin, can see events when she touches vintage clothing.
I enjoy the interaction between the Cassidy women. You just know that Harlow will do everything in her power to make sure her mom marries Sheriff Hoss McClaine even though the wedding is called off after Hoss investigates Harlow. The love at first sight between Orphie and Gavin is unexpected and a nice change for his character. I am so happy that Harlow and her sweetie, Will Flores are moving forward with their relationship. Perhaps more wedding bells are ringing?
The story revolving around stealing designs from other designers is well done. You really do suspect everyone at some point. A very good addition to the series. I look forward to reading the next book.
