A Vision in Velvet by Juliet Blackwell
5.0
A Vision in Velvet by Juliet Blackwell is about Lily Ivory trying to determine who would kill an antique dealer?
Lily Ivory has her hands full with this mystery. She has a lot on her plate dealing with a trunk full of junk besides a gold velvet cape, and then her familiar Oscar goes missing when they get to the tree. Poor Lily is frazzled throughout the story, trying to find answers without her trusted Oscar. What I like about Lily here is that despite not having Oscar around, she was able to figure out how to bring him back and showed true devotion to Oscar. There is a lot to say that I like about this book, but I won't say some because of spoilers.
Lily stumbles upon Sebastian dying at the base of a tree to having Oscar get taken by the tree. She is sure something is evil about that tree and strikes out to figure out what it is. Lily learns a lot about the witch trials in early American history despite not liking the bit of history at all. She has to figure out a lot before finding out who did it and why they did it. I didn't realize who the killer was until they revealed themselves, and I was dumbfounded by it.
A Vision in Velvet by Juliet Blackwell was strangely unique in many different ways. The first was Lily being without Oscar since the beginning of the series, then the fact that sometimes it's best to remember your history as it could help in some weird ways. Ms. Blackwell does such excellent jobs on these stories, and I always get so wrapped up in them every time.
I am giving A Vision in Velvet by Juliet Blackwell five stars, and I'm recommending it. I know I'm a bit late on the bandwagon with these novels, but they are just so good.
What supernatural force is at play to kill an antique dealer and steal Oscar?
