A Fatal Slip
by Meg London

From selling camisoles to solving crimes, the ladies of the Sweet Nothings lingerie shop in Paris, Tennessee, will make this Valentine’s a day to remember...

For Valentine’s Day, Emma Taylor and her aunt Arabella have organized a special evening for men only to shop for their sweethearts in the Sweet Nothings lingerie shop, complete with champagne and hors d’oeuvres. But when a former valentine shows up, Aunt Arabella is not her usual bubbly self.

Art dealer Hugh Granger is still a charmer, though. He invites the women to a ball he’s having to celebrate his birthday and his return to Paris, Tennessee. But when Granger is pushed from the balcony, it paints a sinister picture for Aunt Arabella, who gets framed...for her old flame’s murder.



Meg London's Bio

Meg London is a pseudonym for Peg Cochran. Peg grew up in a New Jersey suburb about 25 miles outside of New York City. After college, she moved to the City where she managed an art gallery owned by the son of the artist Henri Matisse. When her first daughter, Francesca, arrived, the new family moved back to the New Jersey suburbs where her second daughter, Annabelle, was born.

After her husband died, Peg remarried and her new husband took a job in Grand Rapids, Michigan where they now live (on exile from NJ as she likes to joke). Somehow Peg managed to segue from the art world to marketing and is now the manager of marketing communications for a company that provides services to seniors. She also added to her family with a beautiful stepdaughter who is an interior designer in the D.C. area, and a very handsome stepson who is an arborist in Maine. The family got even bigger with the arrival of Francesca’s first daughter, Camille.

Her greatest love though has always been writing—particularly mysteries! She has two cozy mystery series debuting from Berkley Prime Crime— the Sweet Nothings Vintage Lingerie Mystery series, written as Meg London, set in Paris, Tennessee with Emma Taylor who finds murder and mayhem in this quiet country town, and the Gourmet De-Lite Mystery series (under her own name) set in Connecticut and featuring Gigi Fitzgerald who provides gourmet diet meals to a select group of clients

As for pets—she has a schizophrenic cat (really) named Frazzle and a Westhighland White Terrier, Reggie, who is desperately in need of losing a few pounds. But you know what they say: If your dog is overweight, it means YOU aren’t getting enough exercise!

When she’s not writing, Peg can usually be found cooking, which she loves. When asked to bring a dish to a potluck she invariably opts to bring dessert—partly because she loves making sweet dishes and partly because she and her husband always manage to be late so there’s no point in putting them in charge of the appetizer!

Peg loves connecting with readers and other writers so feel free to drop her an email!
