In high school, Lacey Monterossa started a club called Straw Hats and Old Lace. She collected girls who didn’t fit, and they wore dresses and hats and lived for beauty and simplicity.
Now the girls are all grown up, and life isn’t so simple, especially when someone is murdered at Lacey’s inn. One by one the ladies are finding love, danger, faith, and the value of old friends.
Seven contemporary Christian romance novellas with a touch of mystery.
Jill's Notes
- This series is novellas, so if you like shorter reads, this one is for you.
- A YA mystery writer challenged me to try my hand at mystery, which led to this series. It’s much more romance than mystery.
- I plotted this entire series in one sitting, developing all the characters and their interactions in a matter of days. It worked, too, until the last book, which took several tries to get right.
- I have pages of Monterossa family history for the mystery that aren’t included anywhere in the books. It helped me keep the whole thing organized.
