Her neighbors in Bliss, Texas, on the other hand, are capable of murder&#8230;.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Any garment Harlow stitches together has the power to grant the deepest desire of whomever wears it. So when she\u2019s asked to sew aprons for a local women\u2019s group, Harlow must get to know each member. First up is Delta Lee Mobley, who doesn\u2019t care much for Harlow\u2019s family\u2014or anyone else in Bliss, for that matter. Granting Delta\u2019s greatest wish could only lead to trouble&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>But trouble finds Delta all the same. The day after Harlow delivers her apron, Delta\u2019s body is discovered in the cemetery. It seems one of the townsfolk harbored ill will toward one of their own. Harlow\u2019s 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.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p align=\"center\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"none-decoration\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/review-sheilabold.jpg?resize=216%2C62\" alt=\"review-sheilabold\" width=\"216\" height=\"62\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For fans of: Rose Pressey<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Harlow Jane Cassidy\u2019s signed on to create aprons for the members of Bliss\u2019 Red Hat Society. She\u2019s been given just two weeks to complete the task, but if she puts her head down and focuses, it should doable \u2013 right? When the leader of the group is found dead, though, custom-made apron trailing from her purse, Harlow\u2019s attentions are split between stitching and sleuthing. Can the dressmaker find the time to sew up the case and remaining aprons both, or will attempting to do so cause her to succeed at neither?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>A Seamless Murder<\/strong> is the sixth of <strong><em>Melissa Bourbon\u2019s<\/em><\/strong> <em>Magical Dressmaking Mysteries<\/em>. I flat-out loved the first five books in this series, but I\u2019m sad to say, this latest installment left me cold.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The setup is dull. Harlow has no compelling reason to get involved in the investigation and as a result, her inquiry lacks focus. The pace drags. There\u2019s no narrative drive. Bourbon never successfully establishes the stakes, so the story\u2019s devoid of tension and lacking in action, to boot. There\u2019s little drama or conflict, but what\u2019s there feels forced and artificial. The series regulars we\u2019ve come to know and love are largely absent from this particular tale, and the characters Bourbon\u2019s created to fill the void feel flat and underdeveloped. You never get to know the victim or any of the suspects, so it\u2019s impossible to make yourself care whodunit and why. The mystery is convoluted from start to finish, and while the solution is obvious, Harlow\u2019s ludicrously slow on the uptake.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The spark that usually animates Bourbon\u2019s writing is nowhere to be found in <strong>A Seamless Murder<\/strong>. I didn\u2019t <em>hate <\/em>this book, but it really bummed me out to feel such supreme indifference toward something I\u2019d been so excited to read. I\u2019m not saying fans should skip the latest <em>Magical Dressmaking Mystery<\/em>, but it would be wise to approach the book with adjusted expectations.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/22522071-a-seamless-murder\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"none-decoration\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/goodread-logo.jpg?resize=210%2C86\" alt=\"goodread-logo\" width=\"210\" height=\"86\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Reviewed by<\/em>\u00a0<span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong>Kat<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"none-decoration\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/3_star_blog.jpg?resize=130%2C60\" alt=\"3_star_blog\" width=\"130\" height=\"60\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00KWG9JP4?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=thesea0f-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B00KWG9JP4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"none-decoration\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/amazon-logo.jpg?resize=100%2C47\" alt=\"amazon-logo\" width=\"100\" height=\"47\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/click.linksynergy.com\/fs-bin\/click?id=4jojKl08wnk&amp;subid=&amp;offerid=266972.1&amp;type=10&amp;tmpid=8432&amp;RD_PARM1=http%253A%252F%252Fsearch.barnesandnoble.com%252Fbooksearch%252Fisbninquiry.asp%253Fean%253D9780451417213\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"none-decoration\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/bandn-logo.jpg?resize=100%2C47\" alt=\"bandn-logo\" width=\"100\" height=\"47\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/book\/lookup?isbn=9780451417213\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"none-decoration\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/iBooks_Icon.jpg?resize=100%2C47\" alt=\"iBooks_Icon\" width=\"100\" height=\"47\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/click.linksynergy.com\/fs-bin\/click?id=4jojKl08wnk&amp;subid=&amp;offerid=290193.1&amp;type=10&amp;tmpid=9309&amp;RD_PARM1=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.kobobooks.com%2Fsearch%2Fsearch.html%3Fq%3D9780451417213\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"none-decoration\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/kobo-logo.jpg?resize=100%2C47\" alt=\"kobo-logo\" width=\"100\" height=\"47\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/search?q=9780451417213&amp;c=books\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"none-decoration\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/icon-google-play.jpg?resize=100%2C47\" alt=\"icon-google-play\" width=\"100\" height=\"47\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<!--themify_builder_content-->\n<div id=\"themify_builder_content-15458\" data-postid=\"15458\" class=\"themify_builder_content themify_builder_content-15458 themify_builder tf_clear\">\n    <\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content-->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With a needle and thread, Harlow Jane Cassidy is capable of magic.
