Halloween is coming and fashion reporter Lacey Smithsonian?s normally staid Washington, D.C., looks more like a costume party every day. The season has lots of tricks and treats up its sleeve for Lacey in this third outing of the Crimes of Fashion Mysteries. With a messy murder case in the hothouse world of haute couture just behind her, and a romantic getaway weekend just ahead, Lacey promises her new boyfriend she'll stay out of trouble. For once. But trouble follows Lacey like static cling on a silk skirt. Her crazy fashion beat brings her a hot interview with Amanda Manville, reality TV makeover success story turned Supermodel Diva From Hell. Amanda has dangerous secrets ¬¬-- and a scary and elusive stalker. As if that weren't enough, Lacey's mother and sister are in town, bent on doing an extreme makeover on Lacey's entire life. Lacey steps stylishly into the path of drive-by shootings, speeding stolen cars (her own!), and the infamous office jinx. And she learns that sometimes makeovers can be murder . Lacey?s Fashion Bite: "Life is not a dress rehearsal! You're the star of your own life, aren't you? So dress like the glamorous leading lady, not the understudy or a drab extra in a dreary foreign film."
