Synopsis
Lacey can't wait to see France for the first time with friend Magda Rousseau, corset creator for D.C.'s wealthiest and kinkiest. Lacey's job there is to report on haute couture, but the real reason for the trip is the supposed Rousseau lost treasure: a corset lined with jewels. But just before the big trip, someone poisons Magda. Could it have something to do with the priceless corset? To find out, Lacey must follow a dangerous thread that will lead her to the answers-and perhaps the missing jewels.

Love Lacey Smithsonian!by BamaJess

September 22, 2009: I really enjoyed this book even though it was probably my least favorite in the Crimes if Fashion Series. I didn't feel like this one was as fast-paced as some of the other ones. That being said, I still really liked the book and would probably read it again!

July 12, 2006: Ellen Byerrum?s RAIDERS OF THE LOST CORSET sends la belle Lacey Smithsonian to Paris and New Orleans on a wild, wacky hidden-gem chase with best friend Brooke and on-again/off-again beau Vic Donovan. Not only is RAIDERS a satisfyingly-solved mystery, Byerrum?s fourth in her ?Crimes of Fashion? series provides a serious Time of Passion for Lacey and Vic. I?m not going to give away any more of the happily-ever-after (or not) than that?just be on the lookout for pecan pie cake. The penultimate scene is so utterly funny and so truly cinematic, I can?t wait to see RAIDERS OF THE LOST CORSET in the movies (I?m seeing Reese Witherspoon as Lacey, and Hugh Jackman as Vic). Whoever stars in the movie, there?ll need to be a special ?Best inadvertent use of local color in an S&M scene in a mystery-slash-comedy? award that year (and one this year in the Edgars). RAIDERS is in general the most visually appealing of the Lacey novels, taking place as it does in one of the more artistic pockets of usually helmet-haired DC, in Paris (the City of Lights), and the pre-Katrina Big Easy. And then there?s Lacey and Vic?s cake-making scene. Hard to go wrong with this wonderful new addition to the Smithsonian catalog.
