With a needle and thread, Harlow Jane Cassidy is capable of magic. Her neighbors in Bliss, Texas, on the other hand, are capable of murder….
Any garment Harlow stitches together has the power to grant the deepest desire of whomever wears it. So when she’s asked to sew aprons for a local women’s group, Harlow must get to know each member. First up is Delta Lee Mobley, who doesn’t care much for Harlow’s family—or anyone else in Bliss, for that matter. Granting Delta’s greatest wish could only lead to trouble….
But trouble finds Delta all the same. The day after Harlow delivers her apron, Delta’s body is discovered in the cemetery. It seems one of the townsfolk harbored ill will toward one of their own. Harlow’s sleuthing skills are a cut above the rest, and with a few magical tricks up her sleeve, she is determined to cuff this killer once and for all.

Jennifer’s Review of A Seamless Murder
Review (4 Stars): What a spellbinding series! Harlow is working on a new project in this mystery where she has been asked to sew aprons for the Red Hat Society dinner party. While she is trying to come up with the perfect design for each apron, the leader of the Red Hat Society is found dead in the local cemetery. Harlow must now use her sleuthing skills to track down a killer before they decide to add another victim to their list.
A Seamless Murder is the sixth book in the Magical Dressmaking series and I am completely enchanted by this series. Harlow is a great character that has the wonderful ability to create the perfect designs for people based on her magical abilities. She gets a vision of what fabrics would look great on a person and then she is able to make that design come to life. With this mystery, Harlow has the job of sewing several aprons in a short amount of time, when the body of Delta Mobley is found in the cemetery. Delta’s family hasn’t cared much for the Cassidy clan, so Harlow had hoped that this assignment would make amends between the two families and it is a bit of shock to find that Delta has been killed.
I liked how Ms. Bourbon has the ability to create an intriguing mystery that has the right amount of plot twists and turns that will keep people guessing. For me, Harlow has grown so much as a character and I loved to see how far her relationship with Will has come over the course of the series. The ending of this book made me very happy and I want to see what happens next with Harlow and Will in the next installment of this series.

Hi Melissa,
I’m a big fan of this series and own three of the now six books in it. I’d love to add this book to my collection. I’m also going to have to see about getting the other titles that I’m missing.
I wish I had someone who could make clothes for me that magically fit perfectly.
