Series ✦ Penny’s Take
Murder in Lavender Silk
Karen Sue Walker · 2020
61/100
👎 Skip It
Book four of the Bridal Shop Mysteries keeps its found-family warmth and small coastal-town charm intact, with a twisty little whodunit stitched in. It's a pleasant, cozy read, but it's not doing anything the genre hasn't done before, and there's little independent critical evidence to push it higher.
