🖤 The Striped Sun Hat
Every good thriller heroine knows that mystery begins with a great hat. A wide, striped sun hat offers both glamour and protection—a literal shade against the spotlight, perfect for those moments when you’d rather watch than be watched.

Slip it on, and you’ll feel like you could dive headfirst into intrigue—or simply into the nearest infinity pool.
👗 The Striped Sleeveless Dress
A breezy cover-up dress that carries you effortlessly from poolside to cocktails, its vertical stripes elongating your silhouette and hinting at composure under pressure. But make no mistake—beneath that calm surface is a spark of daring. This dress is for the woman who knows that appearances can deceive, and that confidence is the most captivating accessory of all.

About The Deadly Book Club by Lyn Liao Butler:
A virtual book club listens in horror when the screen freezes and one of their members is murdered in this twisty and delicious thriller from the author of Someone Else’s Life, perfect for fans of First Lie Wins and The Writing Retreat.
Five of the most prominent book influencers in the US make up an exclusive virtual book club that’s the envy of the online book world. Once a month, they get on a video call to sip cocktails, chat about social media campaigns and book events, and discuss their monthly book club pick.
Until one meeting, when all of their screens freeze, and they listen to gut wrenching screams as one of them is brutally attacked. It feels like an eternity before the video call drops—and thus begins the frantic texts and phone calls as they try to figure out who was murdered and why.
As the investigation unearths secrets each of them needs to keep buried, the jealousies, hidden resentments, and trouble in their personal lives begin to surface. The remaining four women are suspicious of each other, pointing fingers to take the heat off their own indiscretions. But if they want to figure out who killed their friend, they need to band together and put past hurts behind them. Or one of them will be next.
