So Scarlett arranges a photo shoot for later that week. Fortunately, that night Scarlett meets a new arrival to her neighborhood, who is setting up a photography studio. Trying to locate the hat, to the increasing ire of Lady Ellis, Scarlett gets the idea of asking if the lady would model her special hat for a photo shoot. Then Lady Ellis and her husband, an earl, come into the shop to pick up a specially ordered hat. Trying to take care of the shop, Scarlett impresses Fiona, the apprentice, by selling a hat to a woman who has never bought a hat from them before, despite visiting to look often. No one but Scarlett has much concern about the disappearance of Viv, who has been known to take off from time to time. He still holds this against her to some degree. Scarlett notices that he seems to run hot and cold towards her and learns that when she was 10, she stood up Harrison when he asked her for ice cream to chase after an athlete of some sort. But when Scarlett arrives in London, she gets surprised not to find Viv waiting for her, but instead the handsome Harrison, the shop's business manager, is there. This leads her cousin Vivian to order Scarlett to move from her home in Florida to England and help with the hat boutique that the two cousins inherited from their grandmother and which Viv manages.
If Lea wondered why I was buying the first book in Jenn's new Hat Shop series, she kept it to herself.In Cloche and Dagger by Jenn McKinlay, Scarlett needs to be able to move past a meltdown that turned into a YouTube sensation. " I'm supposed to tell everyone that the hats are not for sale," she told me. Lea was behind the desk and saw me grab a copy of Cloche and Dagger off the table.
When we walked in the bookstore, a table loaded with Jenn's books and a selection of hats was front and center. I'd wager more than a few of you cozy readers have heard the same sort of thing from your husbands and boyfriends, right? Each time he'd asked, I just smiled and told him, " It doesn't matter if you've read her books or even if you never intend to read them, you're going to like her!" After all, he hadn't heard of her (he'd forgotten the times I talked about her after the Coz圜ons), and he really wasn't interested in reading cozies.
To be honest, Denis had asked me several times why we were going to see her. Late Thursday afternoon on August 8, my non-cozy reading husband and I hopped in the Jeep and headed over to The Poisoned Pen to see Jenn McKinlay.
