The Mourning Milliner — A Thornwick Hat Shop Mystery, Book 6

Because in the end, the hat tells the story.

A stranger in mourning arrives at Ambrose & Marsh with a commission that is not what it seems. When a man is found dead in the Thornwick churchyard and the widow vanishes, Agnes Ambrose follows the only clues she has: a hidden letter, a pressed flower, and the unmistakable stitch of a theatrical costumier sewn into mourning clothes that were never meant to grieve.

As Agnes unravels a conspiracy reaching back two centuries, she discovers that the truth has been buried beneath a chapel floor, and that the people who buried it will kill to keep it hidden.

In her most personal case yet, Agnes must use everything her craft has taught her to expose a web of forged records, poisoned lies, and stolen identities.

Perfect for readers who love:

• Churchyard secrets and centuries-old conspiracies
• A vanishing widow and a mystery in mourning black
• Agnes's most personal case in the series
• Clean mysteries with no graphic violence or bad language
