I've been meaning to read this author for a while but finally got the chance during a holiday. Before I knew it, I was through the first five books and wondering how soon I could get my hands on the new release - within a week. The author created a complete and believable magical world, centered around the heroine's San Francisco clothing store, and introduces a full cast of intriguing, fun and conflicted characters. I ran out of holiday before I got to Book 6: 'A Vision in Velvet' but I have it on my Must-Read-Soon list. This is a series for readers who enjoy cozy-style mystery series with a great supernatural twist. The insights into vintage clothing from all eras are just an added bonus.
