Upstate New York is a long way from the royal stage but Charlotte is always the queen of her domain. As this small productions costume designer she has stitched her way into everyones lives learning more than anyone could possibly imagine about the rise and fall of Lauren Richmond. But curiosity killed the cat. And it might well kill the costume designer.Witty and wise work Untimely Death the first in Elizabeth J. Duncans charming cozy series is sure to delight.
