Death of a Mad Hatter
Death of a Mad Hatter | Jenn McKinlay
3 posts | 10 read | 3 to read
ONE IN A MILLINER Scarlett Parker and her British cousin, Vivian Tremont, are hard at work at Mim’s Whims—their ladies’ hat shop on London’s chic Portobello Road—to create hats for an Alice in Wonderland themed afternoon tea, a fund-raiser for a local children’s hospital. It seems like a wonderfully whimsical way to pass the hat, and Scarlett and Viv are delighted to outfit the Grisby family, the hosts who are hoping to raise enough money to name a new hospital wing after their patriarch. Unfortunately, the Grisby heir will not live to see it—he’s been poisoned. When traces of the poison are found on the hat Scarlett and Viv made for him, the police become curiouser and curiouser about their involvement. Now the ladies need to don their thinking caps and find the tea party crasher who’s mad enough to kill at the drop of a hat…

While not as entertaining as the first in the series, this second entry in the Hat Shop Mystery series is still enjoyable. I did laugh out loud at times, but sometimes Scarlett and her stubbornness makes me want to roll my eyes. I had suspicions about the killer, though parts of the reveal I did not see coming. I immediately started book 3 tonight, so can‘t wait to see what Scarlett and Vivian do next!

MallenNC I haven‘t tried this series yet. I like the library one a lot. 4y
Librarybelle @MallenNC I haven‘t read that one yet! I‘ve started her cupcake series and like that one too. 4y

Cute cozy mystery set in England, around a millinery shop in modern-day London. There‘s a death in a rich, infighting family, an Alice in Wonderland-themed tea party gala, a plucky amateur sleuth (American, part owner of the hat shop), and lots of gorgeous hats. Oh, and a little romance subplot, too. This was a quick read that I enjoyed a lot. I‘d certainly read the others in this series.

Traci1 Do you think these need to be read in order? I somehow ended up with the 3rd one but don't have the first two. 7y
azulaco @Traci1 I don‘t think it‘s necessary. I haven‘t read the first one in the series yet, but enough was explained along the way in this book that I wasn‘t lost. 7y
