Bats & Bling — Laina Turner

Can Presley save the day for a charity Halloween ball that features her boutique's merchandise, or will a murderer strike again before she can solve the crime?

Presley is excited to provide dresses for a charity Halloween ball that high-maintenance client Veronica Knapp is hosting. It'll be great exposure for Silk.

But when Veronica's very expensive brooch is stolen from the safe at Silk, it brings on the kind of exposure Presley doesn't want.

The brooch is found a couple of days later - on Veronica's dead body and her husband is nowhere to be found. Is he the one who killed her? Presley aims to find out.

When Veronica's friends want the show to go on in her memory, Presley cautiously agrees.

Can she find out who killed Veronica before anyone else gets hurt?
