Crushed Velvet by Diane Vallere
5.0
This may only be the 2nd book but it reads like it has been around forever! i love Polyester (Poly) and while she may be newish to the town, she has managed to gather up a few good friends and this time one of them is in trouble.
So let's just say I was totally surprised at who was killed. Not that it was a major character, just a surprise. And the killer?! an even bigger surprise. I wanted to suspect a few other people but it just didn't fit. While I didn't guess the killer, I did guess one aspect of why they wanted Poly's material.
I enjoy the small town vibe and how most of the citizens rally together to help each other out. I like seeing Poly's relationship with Vaughn grow into something more. Of course there are characters that we don't like but you can't have all "nice" people, then there would be no conflict.
The only negative I have is that at times I felt like some things were repeated several times...but it didn't take away from my overall enjoyment of the book.
