She plans only to check on her ailing mother and leave. But Tilly decides to stay, and though she is still an outcast, her lush, exquisite dresses prove irresistible to the prim women of Dungatar. Through her fashion business, her friendship with Sergeant Farrat\u2014the town\u2019s only policeman, who harbors an unusual passion for fabrics\u2014and a budding romance with Teddy, the local football star whose family is almost as reviled as hers, she finds a measure of grudging acceptance. But as her dresses begin to arouse competition and envy in town, causing old resentments to surface, it becomes clear that Tilly\u2019s mind is set on a darker design: exacting revenge on those who wronged her, in the most spectacular fashion.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Books discussed at the end of the episode:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>A Lesson in Vengeance<\/em> by Victoria Lee<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>The House That Joy Built<\/em> by Holly Ringland<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>What Moves the Dead<\/em> by T.
