Quick. What’s your favorite color? If you answered blue, I have a must-read for you, especially if you’re into vintage fashion, snappy dialogue and the softest, most sensuous fabric in the world. Did you guess? Well, it’s velvet, of course. Lacey Smithsonian, intrepid fashion reporter for that other Washington D.C. newspaper, The Eye, has a dream assignment. She’s to cover the final days of the last remaining velvet factory in Virginia. The assignment is even more appealing because her main man, Vic Donovan, has been hired to coordinate factory security in the sleepy little town of Black Martin, Virginia. Lacey’s first scheduled interview is with company official Ron Gibbs. Touring the factory on the final day of operation, Lacey finds more than fabric—she finds a body. A very blue body…as in dyed blue. All over. Sheesh. Workers nicknamed Ron Gibbs the Blue Devil and now he’s very blue indeed. There goes the interview. Rumors spread like wildfire that Ron’s killer is the “Velvet Avenger”, whose calling card is a length of blue, velvet ribbon left in the victim’s hand. Heeding Vic’s advice for once, Lacey tries to stay out of the investigation, but when the Velvet Avenger strikes on her own turf, at the offices of The Eye and the paper’s publisher asks for her help in solving the crimes, Lacey has no choice but to get involved. Great fun, with lots of interesting tidbits about the history of the U.S. fashion industry. I don’t think I’ll take that cute, little, black, velvet jacket in my closet for granted again.
