A Veiled Deception
Annette Blair
Madeira, Maddie, Cutler, vintage clothing lover, and New
York fashion designer, comes home to help plan her sister's
wedding. At the engagement party, the "Jezebel" trying to
steal Sherry's fiance is found strangled with a bridal veil,
making Sherry the prime suspect. Besides seeking the real
killer, Maddie alters Sherry's vintage wedding gown, worn by
generations of the groom's family, and something odd
happens. The gown gives Maddie visions, clues to the past .
. . and the murder?
Maddie learns she's psychometric, a psychic gift she
inherited from her late mother, who was a broom-carrying
witch, it turns out. What other gifts did she inherit?
When not sleuthing, Maddie acquires the old Underhill
Funeral Chapel Carriage House, including Dante Underhill, a
chatty debonair ghost in tux and top hat, who can't seem to
leave the building. Watch out Mystic, Connecticut! Here
comes Vintage Magic, a shop for vintage couture and designer
originals, featuring a psychic sleuth, a hunk of a ghost,
and a splash of magic thrown in for "charm."
