The Mystery of the Velvet Gown
Book 29 of the Trixie Belden series
An old or valuable velvet gown becomes unexpectedly important when Trixie Belden notices inconsistencies in the stories surrounding it. The garment’s history may connect present-day people to secrets they would prefer remain forgotten. Trixie and the Bob-Whites follow clues involving ownership, identity, and why anyone would care so much about an apparently outdated dress. Kathryn Kenny turns a piece of clothing into the tangible center of a family-friendly mystery about the past resurfacing in ordinary life.
