Reseña del libro "THE LAST FITTING (en Inglés)"
An out-of-work tailor. A century-old ghost. A secret written in red thread. Alexander D. Vaughan is three weeks away from closing his small shop on Barrington Street when a mysterious, elegant woman walks in with an offer he can’t afford to refuse. Maeve Tempest needs a tailor to finish the final, uncompleted collection of her late husband—the legendary couture designer Lucian Tempest. But when Alexander moves into the grand, decaying Tempest house in South End Halifax, he quickly realizes he isn't alone in the third-floor atelier. It begins with subtle anomalies: dress forms turning toward the dark corner of the room, cold spots that turn breath to frost, and flawless red-stitched seams appearing overnight on unfinished gowns. At the heart of the mystery sits an iron-strapped sea chest—and inside, a forgotten suit of black wool holding a soul that has been waiting since December 1917. Elias Tempest was a twenty-six-year-old tailor who died in the devastation of the Halifax Explosion before he could reach his bride. Now, a century later, his restless ghost seeks a body to fulfill his final promise: I will be there. As Alexander and Maeve race against time to unravel the secrets of the past, a simmering romance kindles between them. But Maeve is guarding a heartbreaking secret of her own—one that could cost Alexander his life, his art, and his future. Why Readers Love The Midnight Silk:Atmospheric Gothic Romance: Rich with maritime fog, salt air, coastal Halifax history, and hauntingly beautiful atelier craftsmanship. Captivating Tropes: Forced proximity, slow-burn romance, haunted artifacts, historical mysteries, and tragic ghost lore. Unforgettable Characters: A quiet tailor with a generous heart, a resilient widow carrying a heavy secret, a gentle ghost holding onto a century-old vow, and a witty supporting cast of local Haligonians. Perfect for fans of The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, The Night Circus, and The Ten Thousand Doors of January.
