The New York Times bestselling author of At the Drop of a Hatreturns to her London hat shop with a fresh tale of milliners and murder.For Scarlett Parker, part of the fun of living in London is celebrating the British holidays, and shes excited to share her first Bonfire Night with her cousin Vivian Tremont. Invited to a posh party by their friend Harrison Wentworth, Scarlett and Viv decide to promote their hat shop, Mims Whims, by donning a few of their more outrageous creations. The hats prove to be quite the conversation starters as the girls mix and mingle with the guests-never suspecting that one of them is a killer.Its a cold, clear night, perfect for the British tradition of tossing a straw stuffed effigy of Guy Fawkes, traitor to the crown, onto the bonfire. But instead of a straw man, they realize in the heat of the moment that the would-be Guy Fawkes is actually Harrisons office rival and hes been murdered. Before the smoke has cleared, Harrison is the Metropolitan polices prime suspect, and Scarlett and Vivian must find the real homicidal hothead before their dear friends life goes up in flames.
