A designer-bag addict investigates death at a department store in this mystery with "lots of humor and style" from a USA Today best-selling author (Booklist).

Haley Randolph is always ready to go to any lengths to get the latest Louis Vuitton. Unfortunately for Haley, her life goes from glam to grim when her passion for fashion outlasts her credit cards, and she's forced to work at Holt's - a mid-market department store. Looking for a bit of shopping inspiration, Haley sneaks into the stock room to get a first glimpse of Holt's one-of-a-kind selection of handbag styles. But instead of the newest Vuitton, Haley discovers her boss is the ultimate fashion victim.

According to the security tapes, Haley was the only person in the stockroom before, during, and after the murder. With everyone in the store eyeing her like last season's Marc Jacobs, Haley turns to the hunky Ty Cameron, who heads up the store's loss prevention unit, to help her investigate the murder. Now her knowledge of hot trends will take her from the sales floor to the boardroom to the gritty streets of LA's Garment District as she searches for a killer with impeccable fashion taste....

Was I supposed to like the lead character? No way possible! Snobbish, unlikeable, rude to customers, co-workers, and supervisors,and a really big liar. I saw no value to this story. I sped up the narrative several notches to see if the story/character improved. No such luck.

Just NOOOOO!

This is awful. The lead character is unsympathetic and unlikable. She's bitter, selfish and not very bright. I could already see where the story was going but unfortunately, I didn't care. The narrator doesn't help. I couldn't force myself to listen beyond chapter 7.

Awful

Worse, worse, worse performance I have ever heard. Stop pause between every word. Story was pretty bad too. If it got better I will never know. Could not listen any more past chapter 5.
