Crime of Fashion (Busybodies collection)
$0.99
Some lovely people will do very bad things to stay out of trouble in this gemlike whodunit from Emma Rosenblum, bestselling author of Very Bad Company and former executive editor at Elle.
When a $3 million Bulgari diamond necklace disappears into thin air during a locked photo shoot, the suspects are all on set. There’s the magazine’s new editor-in-chief with much to prove, the tarnished photographer she’s indebted to, the fallen star who swooped in when her young rival got sick, and the grandiose stylist. But it’s the lowly assistant who must solve the case—and find the gems before taking the blame.
Emma Rosenblum’s Crime of Fashion is part of Busybodies, a collection of quirky mysteries featuring amateur gumshoes who stumble upon peculiar cases. Calling all snoops! Read or listen to each arresting story in a single sitting.

The author brings in many issues besides the crime in question and the busybodies collection I am loving. If you like crime or mystery this collection is for you.

Good story
[...]Nellie is the subject of a smear campaign as a valuable necklace goes missing under her watch. As accusations are tossed around, she knows she has to clear her name. The thing is, she must work with her accuser. A good short story with mostly unlikeable, selfish characters who found themselves in a gorgeous cesspool of revenge and backbiting.

Fashion foolishness!
[...]There is a good mystery hers. With the representations of the closet and as we all know from devil wears Prada that closet people and assistants have it rough. And the blame flinging is typical fashion of the bougie here as well.

Fun
[...]This was a fun little mystery with a little of fashion & filthy rich. A who stole it. I did have fun with this story. Buy I think it would have been better as a novella.

it was meh.
[...]I didn’t find it interesting. So much of the devil wears Prada and all those high fashion clothes shows. It tried so hard to be funny and witty.

mischief makers in mini mysteries
[...]What do you get when you take a half dozen dynamic writers and set them free with the task of writing novellas about controlling family members, nosy neighbors, vengeful coworkers, and internet stars? That would be the Busybodies collection of short stories that combine mystery, humor, revenge, karma, and people with too much time on their hands.When a very expensive necklace goes missing during a fashion photography shoot, it’s the closet assistant who has to figure out what happened in Emma Rosenblum’s Crime of Fashion. Nellie is an OCD wannabe writer working for Elle in the fashion closet, organizing all the clothes and accessories that designers lean them. But when a $3 million necklace goes missing during a cover shoot, Nellie knows that she will be the one to lose her job if it doesn’t show up. She has to plan out her investigation with the same sort of system she has for keeping the closet in perfect shape, if she wants to save the day and keep her job.These six stories are all about similar themes, but they couldn’t be more different. They are smart and intriguing, and they all have twists you can’t see coming. I enjoyed reading them all, and I loved getting a small glimpse into all these authors’ minds. If you’re not interested in all of them, you can buy only the stories that you are drawn to, but for me, I’m glad I read the whole collection. I wanted to read some because I am a big fan of Cosimano, Sutanto, and Prose. And now that I’ve read the stories by Garrett, Thompson, and Rosenblum also, I’m a fan of theirs too. These are tasty appetizers, and now I want to read more.Egalleys for The Busybodies Collection were provided by Amazon Original Stories through NetGalley, with many thanks.
