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...
