Divine Vintage
Book Feature - Divine Vintage by Sandra L. Young
HBL Note: I imagine I would have been a vintage clothing store owner in another life. One of those gem of stores tucked into one of the most unlikely places but with a treasure trove of designer pieces. Mostly I’d sit in the shop alone, reading a book, but I would have a few key patrons that knew that I always had the best selection to keep my business afloat. Did you watch the “And Just Like That” documentary? This alternate-reality dream of mine was rekindled watching the costume designer Molly Rogers shop for vintage pieces at Paris’s Clignancourt Flea Market, among other places.
DIVINE VINTAGE by Sandra L. Young is a murder mystery meets vintage clothing store, when the shop owner has a vision while wearing Edwardian era trousseau of a murdered bride, sparking an investigation of her clothing and diaries to find out what happened. Scroll down to read more.
From the publisher:
Tess Burton is always up for an adventure. She's risked her inheritance to open Divine Vintage, a clothing boutique. While modeling an elegant gown from an Edwardian era trousseau, her mind is opened to a century-old murder. Visions--seen through the eyes of the murdered bride--dispute local lore that claims the bridegroom committed the crime. Trey Dunmore doesn't share Tess' enthusiasm for mind-blowing visions, yet the appeal to clear his family's tainted legacy compels him to join her in exploring the past. Aided by the dead woman's clothing and diary, Tess and Trey discover that pursuing love in 1913 was just as thorny as modern day. As the list of murder suspects grows, the couple fears past emotions are influencing, and may ultimately derail, their own blossoming intimacy.
