LACEY SMITHSONIAN PROMISES her new guy, Vic, she'll try to stay out of trouble. Long enough for a big romantic weekend getaway, at least. But on Lacey's crazy Washington DC fashion beat, trouble follows her like static cling on a silk skirt. First she scores a hot interview: reality TV star Amanda Manville, whose miracle surgical makeover has morphed her into a Supermodel Diva From Hell. Amanda has enemies, secrets, stalkers, and death threats, and she begs Lacey to find out who's trying to kill her. More trouble! Lacey's mother and sister land in DC, plotting an "extreme makeover" on her entire life. And worse: Vic's ex is in town too, and she wants him back-bad. What's a sensible fashion reporter to do?! Stride stylishly into harm's way! To save the day, Lacey must dodge screaming divas, drive-by shootings, a speeding stolen car (her own!), grumpy homicide cops, and even the newspaper's infamous office jinx. And she might discover that makeovers really can be murder.

ELLEN BYERRUM is a novelist, a playwright, a reporter, a former Washington, D.C., journalist, and a graduate of private investigator school in Virginia. Her Crime of Fashion mystery series features a savvy, stylish female sleuth named Lacey Smithsonian. Lacey is a reluctant fashion reporter in Washington D.C., which she lovingly refers to as "The City Fashion Forgot." Two Crime of Fashion novels, Killer Hair and Hostile Makeover, have been filmed. The Woman in the Dollhouse is Byerrum's first suspense thriller. She anticipates exploring Tennyson Claxton's continuing odyssey in a sequel. Byerrum's middle-grade mystery, The Children Didn't See Anything, is the first in a planned series starring the precocious twelve-year-old Bresette twins. Her plays, A Christmas Cactus and Gumshoe Rendezvous, are published under her pen name, Eliot Byerrum. Follow Ellen Byerrum on Facebook and Twitter and on her website at ellenbyerrum dot com. Her books are available through Amazon and other booksellers. Her YouTube Channel, Ellen Byerrum's Fashion Bites, was inspired by readers' interest in the "Fashion BITES" penned by her protagonist, Lacey Smithsonian. These short YouTube videos offer Byerrum's practical fashion advice and humorous style commentary.
