Polyester Monroe was born in the fabric store called Land of a Thousand Fabrics, so dressmaking has always been in her blood. When she inherits the business, she travels to San Ladron, CA, to sell the company and shut its doors for good. Years ago, Poly's great-aunt was murdered in the shop, and the place was boarded up. As soon as she walks into the store, however, Poly realizes that she can't give up her legacy. But not everyone in the small town wants her there. A local developer is pressuring her to sell, and when the senior patrol captain, who saw something suspicious the night her aunt was murdered, is killed, Poly knows something is very wrong. VERDICT This series debut by the author of the "Mad for Mod" and "Style & Error" titles is a sweet mystery with just enough detail about dressmaking and fabrics to charm fashionistas. Although somewhat repetitious, this is an overall entertaining cozy.
